Quoting Eli Zaretskii <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I can't think of any examples, though.
The only examples I can think of is passing \b and \n to programs like
`echo' or `printf'. Even then, I'm not sure I can come up with a
specific case where the current code would cause a failure.
So, Chris, are you okay with leaving this behavior in the Cygwin
build, or do you wish to opt for a safer /-only support for drive
letters? We need to make a decision, and I'd rather have yours than
decide on my own. (I didn't see any discussion of this on the Cygwin
list, either.)
For MPOV I would consider C:/absolute/path to be supported in all
cases. However if SHELL != 'sh' then C:\absolute\path should be
supported and \ loses its meaning as an escape character. FWIW, MPOV
is based on experience with others having issues with Makefiles and
MSYS.
