From 3c8efcaeefd7c1308707b57bd0c3939876dacfe8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Sat, 2 Apr 2016 13:05:08 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mingw: support spawning programs containing spaces in their names The CreateProcessW() function does not really support spaces in its first argument, lpApplicationName. But it supports passing NULL as lpApplicationName, which makes it figure out the application from the (possibly quoted) first argument of lpCommandLine. Let's use that trick (if we are certain that the first argument matches the executable's path) to support launching programs whose path contains spaces.
