Rollup merge of rust-lang#92208 - ChrisDenton:win-bat-cmd, r=dtolnay
Quote bat script command line
Fixes rust-lang#91991
[`CreateProcessW`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/processthreadsapi/nf-processthreadsapi-createprocessw#parameters) should only be used to run exe files but it does have some (undocumented) special handling for files with `.bat` and `.cmd` extensions. Essentially those magic extensions will cause the parameters to be automatically rewritten. Example pseudo Rust code (note that `CreateProcess` starts with an optional application name followed by the application arguments):
```rust
// These arguments...
CreateProcess(None, `@"foo.bat` "hello world""`@,` ...);
// ...are rewritten as
CreateProcess(Some(r"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe"), `@""foo.bat` "hello world"""`@,` ...);
```
However, when setting the first parameter (the application name) as we now do, it will omit the extra level of quotes around the arguments:
```rust
// These arguments...
CreateProcess(Some("foo.bat"), `@"foo.bat` "hello world""`@,` ...);
// ...are rewritten as
CreateProcess(Some(r"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe"), `@"foo.bat` "hello world""`@,` ...);
```
This means the arguments won't be passed to the script as intended.
Note that running batch files this way is undocumented but people have relied on this so we probably shouldn't break it.2 files changed
