I have recently upgraded from 1.5.12 to 1.5.23 and noticed something that has me wondering. I compiled this on 1.5.23 and have run it under cmd.exe on on 1.5.12 and 1.5.23:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int i, c;
for (i = 0; i < argc; i++) printf("arg[%d]: '%s'\n", i, argv[i]); }
On 1.5.12: C:\>e '/.*/' arg[0]: 'e' arg[1]: '/.*/'
On 1.5.23: C:\>e '/.*/' arg[0]: 'e' arg[1]: '/../' arg[2]: '/./' arg[3]: '/.other/'
It appears that the runtime initialization on 1.5.23 is doing command line expansion - is this correct? If so, is this change documented somewhere so I get the full explanation?
See <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html>. Look for the "(no)glob" explanation.
