No escaping of command line arguments anymore with set_args
I'm concerned because under Windows at least, the way that command line arguments are escaped is quite important (and also difficult to get right). Does your library correctly handle all the example cases given in the article below? http://blogs.msdn.com/b/twistylittlepassagesallalike/archive/2011/04/23/ever...
Thanks for the link! The reason why set_args() was changed now was that the example Yakov had provided (see <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/236075>) didn't work. The more important point he made was that the current "non-escaping" behavior increases the set of possible arguments (while before certain things didn't work because escaping interfered). But I'll have a look at the link to see whether there are any counterarguments. :) Boris
