The \ escaping works for me on Solaris 9

C program compiled as a.out

Code:
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc,char **argv)
{
        int i=0;
        while (i < argc) { printf("argv[%d]=%s\n",i,argv[i]); i++; }

        return 0;
}

script...

Code:
#!/bin/sh

./a.out java "-XX:OnError=\"gdb - %p\"" HelloWorld

output

Code:
argv[0]=./a.out
argv[1]=java
argv[2]=-XX:OnError="gdb - %p"
argv[3]=HelloWorld

similarly...

Code:
#!/bin/sh -x

./a.out java -XX:OnError=\"gdb\ -\ %p\" HelloWorld

gives

Code:
argv[0]=./a.out
argv[1]=java
argv[2]=-XX:OnError="gdb - %p"

NAME

       geo_domain_indirect_rep - a named part of a finite element mesh

DESCRIPTION

       The  geo_domain_indirect_rep  class  defines  a container for a part of a finite element mesh.  This describes the connectivity of edges or
       faces.  This class is usefull for boundary condition setting.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE

       The geo_domain_indirect_rep class is splitted into two parts.  The first one is the domain_indirect class, that contains the main renumber-
       ing features: it acts as an indirection on a geo class(see geo(2)).  The second one is the geo class itself, named here the background geo.
       Thus, the geo_domain_indirect class develops a complete geo-like interface, via the geo_abstract_rep pure virtual class derivation, and can
       be used by the space class (see space(2)).

       The  split between domain_indirect and geo_domain_indirect is necessary, because the geo class contains a list of domain_indirect.  The geo
       class cannot contains a list of geo_domain_indirect classes, that refers to the geo class itself: a loop in reference counting leads  to  a
       blocking situation in the automatic deallocation.
