I took some liberties and quoted fewer characters than before, based on an article from MSDN which says that only certain characters cause an arg to require quoting. This seems to be incorrect, though, and worse it seems to be a difference in Windows version. The bot that fails is Windows 7, and I can't reproduce the failure on Win 10. But it's definitely related to quoting and special characters, because both tests that fail have a * in the argument, which is one of the special characters that would cause an argument to be quoted before but not any longer after the new patch. Since I don't have Win 7, all I can do is just guess that I need to restore the old quoting rules. So this patch does that in hopes that it fixes the problem on Windows 7. llvm-svn: 334375
Design Of lib/System
====================
The software in this directory is designed to completely shield LLVM from any
and all operating system specific functionality. It is not intended to be a
complete operating system wrapper (such as ACE), but only to provide the
functionality necessary to support LLVM.
The software located here, of necessity, has very specific and stringent design
rules. Violation of these rules means that cracks in the shield could form and
the primary goal of the library is defeated. By consistently using this library,
LLVM becomes more easily ported to new platforms since the only thing requiring
porting is this library.
Complete documentation for the library can be found in the file:
llvm/docs/SystemLibrary.html
or at this URL:
http://llvm.org/docs/SystemLibrary.html
While we recommend that you read the more detailed documentation, for the
impatient, here's a high level summary of the library's requirements.
1. No system header files are to be exposed through the interface.
2. Std C++ and Std C header files are okay to be exposed through the interface.
3. No exposed system-specific functions.
4. No exposed system-specific data.
5. Data in lib/System classes must use only simple C++ intrinsic types.
6. Errors are handled by returning "true" and setting an optional std::string
7. Library must not throw any exceptions, period.
8. Interface functions must not have throw() specifications.
9. No duplicate function impementations are permitted within an operating
system class.
To accomplish these requirements, the library has numerous design criteria that
must be satisfied. Here's a high level summary of the library's design criteria:
1. No unused functionality (only what LLVM needs)
2. High-Level Interfaces
3. Use Opaque Classes
4. Common Implementations
5. Multiple Implementations
6. Minimize Memory Allocation
7. No Virtual Methods
