To demonstrate this problem I have the following (Windows) program which just prints its arguments:
c:\dev>print_args.exe "{\"foo\": 123}"
arg[0]: print_args.exe
arg[1]: {"foo": 123}
If I run this using VTune (GUI or command line doesn't matter, I'll use the command line for demonstration purposes):
c:\dev>vtune -collect hotspots -- c:\dev\print_args.exe "{\"foo\": 123}"
vtune: Warning: Hardware collection of CPU events is not possible on this system. Microarchitecture performance insights will not be available.
vtune: Warning: To collect microarchitecture performance insights, run the product as administrator.
vtune: Collection started. To stop the collection, either press CTRL-C or enter from another console window: vtune -r c:\dev\r000hs -command stop.
arg[0]: c:\dev\print_args.exe
arg[1]: {foo: 123}
...
We can see that the double quotes around "foo" have been stripped from the arguments sent to the program. This is breaking our actual application which expects to receive a valid JSON string as input.
Is there a better way to report this issue other than the forum? This is quite a big deal for us.
