Re: Ada.Command_Line and wildcards

This is an OS (shell) issue, surely?

Alas, no.
I forgot to mention: I tested both programs on both Windows 98 and XP.
In both systems, the OA-compiled program gives "*.adb" and the GNAT-
compiled the list of files with ".adb" extension.
To Adrian, enclosing with '"' works, thanks, but then the syntax
differs from the usual one for a command-line tool...
I am just suprised by the GNAT behaviour, for two reasons:
- I did not find (or missed) something about it in the RM (95)
- there is also a GNAT.Command_Line that explicitely intends to do
wildcard expansions; so why also GNAT's Ada.Command_Line should do it,
silently ?

I think it is a gcc feature. Because gcc is often used to port Unix applications to Windows, the gcc library emulates Unix behaviour on windows.

Too bad that Unix behaviour was wrong in the first place...
