Subject: compilation-start without shell?
Date: Fri, 24 Dec 2010 04:43:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=yD3PDTk4KPnvji3A1ZY962De-Ykzp2v=7Kasb@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Would it be possible to allow compilation start to not use a shell?

With some programs it is quite hard to use a shell, at least on w32.
And you do not always want to be able to edit the `command' argument.
(Or, that editing might be done on another level.) However reusing the
code in compilation-start may still be good.

A simple logic for calling conventions could be that if `command' is a
list then a shell should not be used, but instead start-process should
be used directly.

But what technical difficulties are their doing this?
