I think you need to quote the entire argument passed to the "cmd /c"
command, or it won't work. E.g. in your case,
let cmd = '!start cmd /c "binary.exe c:/temp/sources -a --enable=all --
template gcc 1> infos.txt 2> cppcheck.out & vim --servername GVIM1 --
remote-expr "GetAsyncText('infos.txt')" & pause "'
I would think the GetAsyncText command would be called anyway, just at
the wrong time by the wrong shell, but maybe this is not the case. I
worked through this a while ago creating an async Grep command, and
remember having trouble with the quoting as demonstrated, but I don't
remember the behavior the quoting avoided.
Don't worry about the nested quotes, cmd.exe is dumb enough to do the
right thing, not what you'd expect.
