[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49718] Octave crashes on print/saveas etc when installed on a directory with parenthesis

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #19, bug #49718 (project octave):

octave_popen eventually resolves to calls in sysdep.cc.


FILE *
octave_popen (const char *command, const char *mode)
{
#if defined (__MINGW32__) || defined (_MSC_VER)
  if (mode && mode[0] && ! mode[1])
    {
      char tmode[3];
      tmode[0] = mode[0];
      tmode[1] = 'b';
      tmode[2] = 0;

      return _popen (command, tmode);
    }
  else
    return _popen (command, mode);
#else
  return popen (command, mode);
#endif
}


Since we are using different code on different systems, it is possible that
_popen on Windows does not handle spaces well, while the popen command on
Linux has no issues.
