Subject: bug#21831: 24.5 on Windows; start-process modifies its PROGRAM argument
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2015 21:31:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAFQA6kxKF9qoCARH5uAemdxxR_v31z7=E2QOQyuVSeQP31X_Rg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2355 bytes --]
start-process normalizes the given PROGRAM path by destructively modifying
its contents.
This is problematic if the path variable is reused later on.
Minimal repro:
(let ((path "c:/Windows/System32/clip.exe"))
(start-process "" nil path)
path) ; => "c:\\Windows\\System32\\clip.exe"
