Hello Tom,
Well, glob does have some metacharacters, so not doing any quoting at all still leaves us with failure modes. I did a little bit of googling on this subject last night, and it seems that at least some people believe that the answer is to not use glob, period, but read the directory for yourself.
Yep, would work, it can then be filtered with standard regexpr, although it will take a few lines (opendir/grep on readdir/closedir).
Maybe there's a better way, but the breakage around backslashes doesn't really leave me hopeful.
Indeed. I was thinking of defining my own quote function, but without being convinced that it is such a good idea.
As a short-term move to un-break the buildfarm, I'm just going to revert that patch altogether.
I was considering to suggest that, so I'm ok with that.
We can reapply it once we've figured out how to do the glob part correctly.
Yep. No need to spend time much on that, I'll have a look at it, although not right now, allow me a few days.
