That's completely not what the documentation says. The documentation 
clearly states, that 2n or 2n+1 backslashes followed by a quote should 
result in backslashes. However, in your cases, not even the number of 
backslashes matches the documentation.

Which operating system were you using? I will try to check tonight on 
Windows 7 using mingw64. Are you sure, you haven't mixed char and wchar 
strings? Have you tried CommandLineToArgvA?
