Dear Cygwin community,

I observe the following on my Cygwin: when I put quotes around file that has
non-ASCII symbols, these quotes are passed to argv of the process literally,
otherwise they are removed. I would expect that there is a consistency.

I have written a small C program that displays arguments, and run it three
times:

#1 For the file with space, taken into quotes ("the file.txt") -- OK
#2 For the file with non-ASCII characters (Château.txt) -- OK
#3 For the file with non-ASCII characters, taken into quotes ("Château.txt") -- WRONG

File 'Château.txt' was opened

D:\cli> test "Château.txt"
param 0 = test
param 1 = "Château.txt"
Failed to open '"Château.txt"': No such file or directory

As one can see, the last run fails. I am a bit puzzled: how can I pass the name
of the file with space and Unicode symbols? I need to do it in uniform way, as I
am calling a Cygwin program from native Windows program, as in [1].

D:\cli> test "текст плюс.txt"
param 0 = test
param 1 = "текст плюс.txt"
Failed to open '"текст плюс.txt"': No such file or directory

I have search a bit, but I couldn't find a direct answer. From post [1] and [2]
I see that compiler inserts the code to do some argument pre-processing like
@pathnames [3], but what are exactly the rules? Is quote pre-processing done in
dcrt0.cc:177 [4]?

Any feedback is appreciated.

	FILE* f = fopen(argv[1], "r");
	if (f != NULL)
	{

		fclose(f);
	} else {
		printf("Failed to open '%s': %s\n", argv[1], strerror(errno));
	}
	return 0;
}
