Issue ID: 13447 Summary: Do not escape process parameters unless necessary Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: All OS: Windows Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Phobos Assignee: nob...@puremagic.com Reporter: thecybersha...@gmail.com Some Windows programs do not use CommandLineToArgvW. Examples: WinMerge, GoLink, older programs written for Windows versions before Windows 2000 (which introduced CommandLineToArgvW). These programs can't handle switches when they are enclosed in quotes (e.g. "/r"). std.process should not quote parameters unless it is actually necessary for them to be parsed correctly. --
