Recently as a part of semihosting support for MIPS, I proposed introducing separate "-semihosting-arg" option to pass input arguments https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-02/msg05387.html I'm not entirely sure about the name of this option (it is explicit at least I think), but basically it makes the life easier. You can pass any number of arguments without having to care about separators and escape characters. Wouldn't it help also in this ugly double-commas case? Thanks, Leon
