In other words, something like this: test.exe [non-quoted args] "" [...] The fix is a one-liner in ParseCommandLine() of src/main/win32/SDL_win32_main.c. You can test this with any non-console SDL program on windows like this: 1) Open a console (cmd.exe) 2) Launch the program in one of the following ways: program "" program arg1 "" program arg1 "" arg3 These will not cause a crash: "program" [...] program "arg1" "" When a Windows program is launched from Explorer, its 0th argument seems to always be quoted, so it won't be a problem in that case. I've tested this on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7. diff -r 6f8175ad0335 -r ae7799d16c87 src/main/win32/SDL_win32_main.c --- a/src/main/win32/SDL_win32_main.c Mon Jul 12 01:20:57 2010 -0700 +++ b/src/main/win32/SDL_win32_main.c Mon Jul 12 22:08:50 2010 -0700 @@ -71,6 +71,7 @@ ++argc; } /* Skip over word */ + lastp = bufp; while (*bufp && (*bufp != '"' || *lastp == '\\')) { lastp = bufp; ++bufp;
