Hi, I have been having trouble using GDB when there are spaces in the executable filename (including in parent directories). This is quite common on Windows. The load command attempts to interpret everything after the first space as a load offset - a number - and rejects the command of it won't parse. This even happens when the filename is passed on the GDB command line. The attached patch used buildargv() and tilde_expand() to give this filename the same treatment as exec_file and symbol_file. A quick search of gnats shows that this is bug #535. OK? Andrew Stubbs
