Tcl Source Code

Win2k and WinXP:

Attempting to run the regression test suite in a directory whose
path name contains whitespace results in test failures in
io-14.9 and io-29.32.

Test suite output is attached.

io.test now does not fail.

My error, this is not related to TclpCreateProcess's argv 
handling.  Looks like pure script usage.

Is the test suite ok now?

Here's a different XXX_BuildCommandLine() that I use in 
Expect-Win32.  Does this solve stuff?

BuildCommandLine() and the shell's setargv() must be 
complimentary.  But more importantly, BuildCommandLine() 
must follow the CreateProcess() quoting rules exactly so it 
works for all applications, not just our shell.

David, I remember that we have at least one other bug report 
about quoting issues with exec/windows. And this test failure 
sort of smells like this bug. Can you have a look.

The test uses 'array get/set' to transfer the contents of an 
array to a subprocess, as a single argument. But the space 
in the path messes this somehow up.

Andreas's patch fixes all but io-14.9, which appears 
to be a quoting problem in [exec]. Printing
the elements of [lindex $argv 0] in the child process
reveals:

cat = {C:/Documents
and = Settings/kennykb/My
Documents/SourceForge/tcl/win/cat} = longfile
{C:/Documents = and
Settings/kennykb/My = Documents/SourceForge/tcl/win/longfile}
script = {C:/Documents
and = Settings/kennykb/My
Documents/SourceForge/tcl/win/script} = test1
{C:/Documents = and
Settings/kennykb/My = Documents/SourceForge/tcl/win/test1}
test2 = {C:/Documents
and = Settings/kennykb/My
Documents/SourceForge/tcl/win/test2} = test3
{C:/Documents = and
Settings/kennykb/My = Documents/SourceForge/tcl/win/test3}

Hm, the 29.32 does not look like a whitespace problem. 
Permission denied. It doesn't happen if there is no 
whitespace in the path ?

On linux I saw io-14.9 and io-48.3.
Enclosed a tentative patch. It solves the failures I saw, and I 
also did some changes which might solve 29.32. I am not 
sure. Please test.
