Speaking as someone who isn't officially involved in the decision-making of GDB, I'm leaning towards 3. --run (that I had suggested originally) may imply gdb will actually start the program, instead of just setting up the argument list. `--' is better in this sense. I don't see much need of --args-enable; one can always use ./-- instead of -- if their core file is named --. -- Alexandre Oliva Enjoy Guarana', see http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat GCC Developer aoliva@{cygnus.com, redhat.com} CS PhD student at IC-Unicamp oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist *Please* write to mailing lists, not to me
