Package path containing whitespace [message #2079]

Champs,
I am on a windows machine and have one of my packages under "Program
Files/....". I do a xdc.getPackageBase("package name") and add it to the
Header search path. This breaks the compilation since the -I path is not
quoted.
I have fixed the issue by converting long names to DOS directory format in
the package.bld.
Is there inherent support in XDC tools to get the DOS directory format. I
see that the package path is correctly converted by XDC to DOS format
eliminating spaces.Is this feature exposed to user of XDC tools.

Thanks
Badri

Good question: XDCtools uses xdc.services.io.File.getDOSPath()
internally to handle paths with spaces, so it seems reasonable that
others would find this method useful.

The xdc.services.io package (and the File module) have not yet been
reviewed for use by others; i.e., we reserve the right to change/remove
this package in future releases without notice.

However, there is little doubt that this functionality will always be
required. So, I see very little chance that this one method will be
changed/removed.

I suppose it goes without saying that the "right" answer is to fix the
target to properly quote -I paths (or not use paths with spaces ;).
