Hi Stefan,

What's the idea/thought behind this (or what problem are you trying to
solve)?

Hi Paul,

the problem is the "command line parsing" of ShellExecuteEx, see bug19666
(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19666#c3).

When a directory contains two executables where the name of the first,
without extension, is the leading part of the name of the second and the
second file have a blank at the position where the first file has the
dot, wine implementation of ShellExecuteEx starts the first executable
when the name of the second given to ShellExecuteEx.

If a unittest call the second executable via ShellExecuteEx, the first
executable is started and the test target is the trailing part of the
filename including the extension. This causes a test failure because the
test target does not exist.

Example:
test file.exe
test file two.exe

Builtin ShellExecuteEx starts always "test file.exe". If "test file
two.exe" was passed as name to be ShellExecuteEx argv[1] will be
"two.exe".

To get around this problem and make a valid unittest without fixing the
problem, i looked for another way to pass the test target to the
executable.

This statement classifies this patch as a hack, not?

What is your suggestion about my last point, which you removed silently?


Sorry for that but that last point looked to me like you wanted to have a test for ShellExecuteEx without any parameter. Not sure what to comment/suggest on that.

I must say that I haven't thoroughly checked the code/patches. It's just the statements "get around" and "without fixing the problem" that triggered me.
