Subject: bug#37608: Patch for support in emacsclient for command-lline options in ALTERNATE_EDITOR breaks quoted paths on Windows
Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2019 17:40:28 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <SN6PR17MB2141D9D960ED1F02656D6680879F0@SN6PR17MB2141.namprd17.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
The patch for bug #25082 appears to have broken quoted paths being passed to emacsclientw on Windows.
w32_execvp doesn’t handle this because it doesn’t quote the path argument to execvp (ultimately to CreateProcess?).
So the patch prevents any possibility of passing a path with spaces as the alternate editor on Windows.
It would have been nice (perhaps) if this had been made a new different command line switch.
