That would only interact with the shell, as `%` is not actually part of the environment variable name, it's just a way to tell the shell you want it to get the value of an environment variable. The environment block itself is a NULL te

They work just fine, as the drive-specific CWD is stored in the environment as a normally-hidden =<drive-letter>: environment variable which has all the same WTF-16 and case-insensitive properties as drive letters: C:\> cd &#

Good catch, that does indeed look like a mistake in the spec. Everything past the first sentence of that error description is suspect, honestly (seems like it was naively adapted from the example in [1] but that example isn't relevant

Appreciate it (I'm the author). I'd like to think there's a good bit of interesting stuff in here outside of the specific topic of named character reference tokenization.

As far as I'm aware, using the self-hosted backend for anything other than Debug mode is a goal, but a far-future goal. I believe the most relevant links are https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/16270 a

I'm probably not describing it fully accurately. See the link for the proper explanation.

My understanding is that Zig's incremental compilation will work on a much more granular level (i.e. functions, etc), so, for example, change one function and only that function (and its dependencies) will get recompiled/relinked

For the miscompilations, the fix wouldn't add a new compile error. Instead, rc.exe would just start doing the right thing in certain scenarios, so previously broken things would start working. For example, padding bytes that were previ

I think everything labeled 'miscompilation' could be fixed without breaking backwards compatibility, since triggering them always leads to an unusable/broken .res file. No clue how likely it is they'll be fixed, though.

Thanks! I'm actually pretty okay with where I've landed with FONT resources. The legwork has already been done in figuring things out, and with the strategy I've chosen, resinator doesn't even need to parse .fnt files at

All of the listed goals have arguably been met, except: - Auto-generating a `.h` file has temporarily regressed - Friendly toward package maintainers is an ongoing goal - "Memory zeroed by default" is not accurate, instead you mus
