2013-05-03 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
+ * w32/subproc/sub_proc.c: Include makeint.h. Remove a private
+ incompatible prototype of xmalloc.
+ (batch_file_with_spaces): New function, detects Windows batch
+ files whose names include whitespace characters.
+ (process_begin): If exec_name is a batch file with whitespace
+ characters in its name, pass NULL as the first argument to
+ CreateProcess. This avoids weird failures due to buggy quoting by
+ CreateProcess. For the details, see the discussion starting at
+ http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/make-w32/2013-04/msg00008.html.
+
* load.c (load_object, load_file): Accept an additional argument
DLP and return in it a pointer that can be used to unload the
dynamic object.
