           Summary: std.getopt erroneously splits arguments
           Product: D
           Version: 2.025
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: andrei metalanguage.com
        ReportedBy: dhasenan gmail.com


When you try:
rdmd --eval='printf("Hello world\n");'

You get an error. rdmd tried compiling the string 'printf("Hello'.

Looking into this further, std.getopt explicitly ignores shell escaping.
There's no way to pass in an argument with spaces using std.getopt.

The fix is to eliminate lines 312 to 327 inclusive in std/getopt.d, and rely on
the shell to split the arguments properly.

Thanks, that's been fixed in svn already. Unfortunately that can't be built
from source yet, but in the interim a Linux binary is to be found at
http://ssli.ee.washington.edu/~aalexand/d/rdmd (I also added a --main option)
