Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
The function split-string-and-unquote is a great help in taking apart
shell command lines, but the values it returns seem incorrect in some
situations, at least from shell command quoting perspective:
(split-string-and-unquote "foo\ bar")
=> ("foobar") [where's my blank?]
(split-string-and-unquote "foo\\\ bar")
=> ("foo\\bar") [where's my blank?]
(split-string-and-unquote "foo\" \"bar")
=> ("foo" " " "bar") [where's my blank]
(split-string-and-unquote "foo\"*\"bar")
=> ("foo" "*" "bar") [can't quote in the middle of a string?]
(split-string-and-unquote "foo\\\"bar")
=> End of file during parsing [how do you quote a quote?]
Also, it doesn't support '..' quoting, which is quite frequent in
shell commands.
If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
`bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
d:/gnu/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
