Comment (by Jonathan Jaloszynski <Jon_Jaloszynski@…>):

 When using the "command style" of execution with a quoted executable path,
 the expected (2 argument) argv is received by the child process.  This is
 a bit of a hack since quoting the path is likely OS specific.

 {{{

 int main()
 {
         std::wstring cmdString = L"\"c:\\dir with space\\DumpCmdLine.exe\"
 realArgument";
         auto child = boost::process::child(boost::process::cmd =
 cmdString);
         child.wait();
         return 0;
 }

 }}}
