00:56:04 can a resident windows expert help me understand run-program and command line arguments? 01:01:03 Fare: I'm away from a Windows box, but I don't remember that there's anything particularly odd about it (when compared to the Unixoid systems). 01:01:59 rme: it looks like by compatibility with DOS, programs take a string as their "command line argument(s)", that they have to break down by themselves. 01:02:12 Is that true? Does CCL itself work that way? 01:02:29 is the breaking down done by the libc using a standard encoding for quotes? 01:08:36 We actually do some fairly standard funny business to get the args into unicode strings (we call CommandLineToArgvW(GetCommandLineW(), &wide_argc)), but the lisp itself handles command-line arguments in exactly the same way on all platforms. 01:10:06 ok, so I suppose CommandLineToArgvW(GetCommandLineW(), &wide_argc)) is a standard thing most programs use, and I should be happy supposing that this works. 01:10:26 Conversely, when you run-program, you quote arguments in a way that is compatible with that, I suppose? 01:12:48 That's right. 01:14:09 If you find a case where we botch it, please open a ticket. 01:14:38 no, no. I don't think you botched anything. I don't even have a windows machine. 01:14:55 I'm just trying to figure out this mess so that xcvb can do the right thing on windows. 01:15:16 Thanks a lot for your help. 01:15:25 maybe see you tomorrow. 01:15:39 yes :) 01:58:12 -!- Fare [~Fare@ita4fw1.itasoftware.com] has quit [Quit: Leaving] 04:40:55 -!- rme [rme@5C8ED197.4D2D03BC.962E640F.IP] has quit [Quit: rme] 04:40:56 -!- rme
