Great explanation, it's very helpful.

I've been using cmd.exe to generate the command line for my tests, but the
original problem was when my compiled Go binary directly executes another
Windows process using the Win32 APIs like CreateProcess directly. Here's a
simple Go program that reproduces the issue:

package main

import (
	"log"
	"os"
	"os/exec"
)

func main() {
	cmd := exec.Command("C:\\cygwin64\\bin\\bash.exe", "test.sh", "foo", "bar\"baz", "bat")
	cmd.Stdout = os.Stdout
	cmd.Stderr = os.Stderr
	if err := cmd.Run(); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}

The output of this process is:

foo
bar\baz bat


To prove it is not going through cmd.exe, I debugged the Go program
to the point that it calls the Win32 CreateProcess function, and the
first two arguments are:

lpApplicationName: "C:\\cygwin64\\bin\\bash.exe"
lpCommandLine: "C:\\cygwin64\\bin\\bash.exe test.sh foo bar\\\"baz bat"

So unless I'm missing something, bash.exe is not interpreting the command line
following the rules pointed to by the documentation for CommandLineToArgvW.

Thanks,
Stephen
