#9603: getArgs path transformation is broken on Windows -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: gintas | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries/base | Version: 7.9 Keywords: | Operating System: Windows Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: Incorrect Difficulty: Unknown | result at runtime Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- It looks like System.Environment.getArgs is trying to be smart on Windows and to transform arguments drive paths to environment-local paths (e.g., 'C:/' => 'C:\msys64', but it messes up the mangling somewhere if the path is not at the beginning of the argument: $ args "C:/" ["C:/"] $ /tmp/args " C:/" [" C;C:\\msys64"] Note the leading "C;" which makes no sense. $ uname -s MINGW64_NT-6.3 -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9603 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
