TCC/LE string replacement differing from cmd.exe

[adam_0]

First post, looking for some help. I'm trying to build Go 1.4.3 with their build script (https://github.com/golang/go/blob/go1.4.3/src/make.bat#L57) which works with cmd.exe but not tcc.exe. (some brief background: to build from source, one must build a version of Go prior to 1.5 to "bootstrap" the building of the latest version -- all versions 1.5+ are built in Go instead of C).

The line in question is a little bit hairy:

set DEFGOROOT=-DGOROOT_FINAL="\"%GOROOT_FINAL:\=\\%\""

So I tried to simplify it and see where the root of the problem is:

[C:\Program Files (x86)\JPSoft\TCCLE14]set FOO=C:\my-test\some-stuff\asdf

[C:\Program Files (x86)\JPSoft\TCCLE14]set BAR=%FOO:\=\\%

[C:\Program Files (x86)\JPSoft\TCCLE14]echo %FOO%
C:\my-test\some-stuff\asdf

[C:\Program Files (x86)\JPSoft\TCCLE14]echo %BAR%
C:\\\\my-test\\\\\\\\\some-stuff\\\\\\\\\\\\asdf

Pretty strange... but here's what I discovered:

C:\\\\my-test\\\\\\\\\some-stuff\\\\\\\\\\\\asdf
             \my-test\          \some-stuff\

That's right, for some reason the number of slashes is related to the size of the directory before.

Not sure what's going on here, but any help is appreciated!

Not reproducible with TCC or TCC-RT v21.

Is TCC/LE not supported? Is there a "v21" of it for download somewhere? (I notice that there are buttons to download versions 14 and 13 here: https://jpsoft.com/products/tcc-le.html).

TCC/LE is free and unsupported, and v14 is the most recent (and probably last) version.

TCC-RT is free and supported. TCC and TCMD are supported, but not free.
