-break-insert and multi-byte file names

-break-insert and multi-byte file names

[Gordon Prieur]

Hi,

    I'm working on a netbeans C++/gdb debugger problem setting breakpoints
in multi-byte filenames. My filename is the Russian equivalent of 
test.cc (in
UTF-8 its "\u0422\u0435\u0441\u0442.cc" but for simplicity I'm just going
to type it as test.cc in this email).

    If I type "b test.cc:10" I get a valid breakpoint. If I type 
"-break-insert test.cc:10"
I get "mi_cmd_break_insert: Garbage following <location>" and a failed 
breakpoint.
I've tried various quoting permutations but none have worked.

   Short of setting all my breakpoints with the non-mi breakpoint 
commands, is
there any way to get this to work? Am I likely to run into other gdb/mi 
problems
with multi-byte filenames?

Thanks,
Gordon

The MI version should probably have quotes in it somewhere...

I've tried:

    -break-insert "foo.c:10"
    -break-insert "foo.c":10
    -break-insert 'foo.c:10'
    -break-insert 'foo.c':10

Any other permutations I should try?

No, I would expect the first one to work.

I suppose you could try "\"foo.c\":10" but I don't think it will help
if those don't.

On what OS is that?  I mean the OS on which GDB runs, not the target.

What happens if you invoke GDB with stdin redirected from a file, and
that file has the "-break-insert test.cc:10" command where the name of
the file is encoded in UTF-8?  Does it work then?
