[ben via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

bd1976llvm added inline comments.


================
Comment at: test/lit.cfg:334
         tool_path = llvm_tools_dir + '/' + tool_name
-    config.substitutions.append((pattern, tool_pipe + tool_path))
+    config.substitutions.append((pattern, tool_pipe + lit.util.escapeSpaces(tool_path)))

Actually, the lit shell already knows that escape characters are different on windows and Linux. See: https://gitlab.crest.iu.edu/lvoufo/conceptclang/commit/e9201f5ced4ba3b19d4e548deb8e8d3b461f77ab. This patch just extends that idea to allow escape characters on windows rather than just ignoring them.
