There was a problem hiding this comment.
Could we do something like:
Suggested change
| bool QuotePaths = false; | |
| for (int i = 1; i != argc; ++i) { | |
| if (StringRef(argv[i]) == "--quote-paths") { | |
| QuotePaths = true; | |
| break; | |
| } | |
| } | |
| bool QuotePaths = std::any_of(&argv[0], &argv[argc], [](const char *arg) { | |
| return StringRef(arg) == "--quote-paths"; | |
| }); |

Hi, thanks for the work, looks great! As a food for thought regarding For us at Hylo, it works great though, see my script for generating a pkg-config file for LLVM: https://github.com/hylo-lang/get-llvm/blob/main/src/get-llvm.ts#L305 |
If any of the printed paths by llvm-config contains quotes, spaces, backslashes or dollar sign characters, these paths can be quoted if using --quote-paths and the corresponding characters will be escaped. Following discussion in llvm#76304 Fixes llvm#28117

…cape paths (llvm#103397) If any of the printed paths by llvm-config contain quotes, spaces, backslashes or dollar sign characters, these paths will be quoted and escaped, but only if using `--quote-paths`. The previous behavior is retained for compatibility and `--quote-paths` is there to acknowledge the migration to the new behavior. Following discussion in llvm#76304 Fixes llvm#28117 Superseeds llvm#97305 I could also do what @tothambrus11 suggests in llvm#97305 (comment) but that makes all Windows paths quoted & escaped since they all contain backslashes.
