Is the intention to exclude > those front ends from understanding this information? If GDB is a Cygwin application, it will print Cygwin paths. There's really no way around that and nothing to be done about it. A non-Cygwin application can convert the Cygwin paths to Windows paths (by dynamic loading of Cygwin if it's present). Or use a non-Cygwin GDB. I often find the latter easier. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
