This post explains all the instructions required in order to get started with c++ no macOS 10.15 Catalina.

This post is a follow up on command line arguments. I recently published a C++ library (libArgvCodec) which properly handles all encoding and decoding of command line arguments. It is much safer to use the library than simply wrap each argument with double quotes.

This post is about a decade old problem: how to properly encode command line arguments. Properly encoding string arguments into a long command line should not be a complicated issue. However, I have seen multiple situations where people wrongfully assume that wrapping each argument with double quotes is ‘safe enough’ for most situations. That is simply not true.
