Subject: [PATCH 0/7] gdb/testsuite: allow passing inferior arguments with native-gdbserver board
Date: Wed, 6 May 2026 16:27:48 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260506202804.1681886-1-simon.marchi@polymtl.ca> (raw)
From: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@polymtl.ca>
I started looking into this while revieweing this patch from Baris [1].
The problem was that a set was attempting to pass args to the inferior
using "set args", which does not work with the native-gdbserver board.
I tried to implement proper support for passing arguments to inferior
programs in the testsuite, and this series is the result.
