I know it may be too late for that and I don't want to bring old discussions back to live, but FWIW I agree with you and André, in the way that GDB should correctly handle the backslash on MinGW environments. I don't use Windows and I share your feelings about its quality, but I have this feeling that, if we're going to support something, we should really support it. Too bad this patch (apparently) won't go in. -- Sergio
