           Summary: rdmd and dmd do not correctly preserve program arguments
                    with spaces.
           Product: D
           Version: 0.173
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P1
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: brunodomedeiros+bugz@gmail.com


rdmd and dmd do not correctly preserve program arguments with spaces. With a test program that prints args.length and args[1] :

$ test.exe "a b c" d
args.length: 3
args[1]: a b c

$ rdmd test.d "a b c" d
args.length: 5
args[1]: a

$ dmd -run test.d "a b c" d
args.length: 5
args[1]: a

Note: I actually depend on this in some scripts of mine which I use often, and which this bug breaks in many situations :(

Linux works fine.

Here's a fix for rdmd on windows (line 104):

        version (Windows)
        {
        exeargv ~= "\"" ~ exepath ~ "\"";
        foreach(char[] arg; argv) exeargv ~= "\"" ~ arg ~ "\"";
        }
        else
        {
        exeargv ~= exepath;
        foreach(char[] arg; argv) exeargv ~= arg;
        }

Before the fix:
C:\Zz>rdmd_win test.d "1 2 3" 4 "567"
args.length: 6
args[1]: 1
args[2]: 2
args[3]: 3
args[4]: 4
args[5]: 567

After:
C:\Zz>rdmd_win test.d "1 2 3" 4 "567"
args.length: 4
args[1]: 1 2 3
args[2]: 4
args[3]: 567
