Subject:	Re: BUG: winmain GetCommandLine only returning program name and path with no arguments

That same executable behaves properly when built with cl.exe *or* run from cmd.

Only when built with cygwin gcc *and* run from cygwin shell does it
not show the full string,
and bonus, in that case does not set szCmdLine properly?

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int WINAPI
WinMain(HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE hPrev, LPSTR szCmdLine, int sw) {
        char* text = GetCommandLine();
        printf("getcmdline: %p %s\n", text, text);
        printf("szCmdLine: %p %s\n", szCmdLine, szCmdLine);
        return 0;
}

Built as a.exe by gcc, example.exe by cl

$ ./a.exe x y z
getcmdline: "C:\cygwin64\home\buildbot\a.exe"
szCmdLine:

$ ./example.exe x y z
getcmdline: C:\cygwin64\home\buildbot\example.exe x y z
szCmdLine: x y z

$ cmd
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10240]

C:\cygwin64\home\buildbot>a.exe x y z
getcmdline: a.exe  x y z
szCmdLine: x y z

C:\cygwin64\home\buildbot>example.exe x y z
example.exe x y z

C:\cygwin64\home\buildbot>getcmdline: example.exe  x y z
szCmdLine: x y z

(Incidentally,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13871617/winmain-and-main-in-c-extended/13872211
and
http://daviddeley.com/autohotkey/parameters/parameters.htm looks
like informative if one is interested in some nasty details. )
