#4156: globbing not switched off? interferes with substring matching
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: claus | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: ghc-pkg
Version: 6.12.3 | Keywords:
Os: Windows | Testcase:
Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
On windows, `ghc-pkg` needs to be linked with a `CRT_noglob.o` (setting
`_CRT_glob` to `0`), so that it does not attempt its own globbing.
That does not seem to happen anymore (no sign of `CRT_noglob` in the
[http://darcs.haskell.org/ghcBuilder/builders/simonmar-
win32-stable/58/8.html build log]).
Result is that substring matching does not work correctly. The effect
seems to be masked in the testsuite because the substring matches there
happen to expand to themselves (no matching files in the current
directory):
In a `cmd.exe`:
