Re: gdb hijacks my argument list

[Tribhuwan Kandpal]

Hi Leslie,

I believe you want to pass the arguments to your program but you need to pass it within gdb. so give those arguments when you give run command

 

try this:

 

gdb your_program_name

 

now the gdb shell will open:

 

(gdb) run Write_the_arguments_of_your_program_here

 

 

I believe it will help you

 

Thanks,

Trib

Hi,

    I'm writing a package that accepts arbitrary character strings from the
command line, and I'm trying to debug it with gdb.

    When run without gdb the command line string is passed directly to my
program, but when I tell gdb to pass it, gdb insists on interpreting it as a
filename, and won't pass it through.

Example without gdb:
=================================================
./testtoken ' (name testtoken endchar \) < testtoken.adb | (trace) count
lines|cons '

Input string is:
....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6
(name testtoken endchar \) < testtoken.adb | (trace) count lines|cons

    Before: TokenFrom =   1
            TextLeft  =  71

    After:  TokenFrom =   1
            TextLeft  =  71

Token  1 is: ' (name testtoken endchar \) < testtoken.adb | (trace) count
lines|cons '

End of tokens reached.

=================================================

Example with gdb:
=================================================
gdb testtoken --args ' (name testtoken endchar \) < testtoken.adb | (trace)
count lines|cons '

(name testtoken endchar \) < testtoken.adb | (trace) count lines|cons : No
such file or directory.
(gdb)
=================================================

    How do I make gdb pass this string through to the program under test?
