When on a MinGW host, standard_output_file uses a regular expression to
convert Unix-style paths of the form "/c/foo" to "c:/foo". This is
needed because the paths we pass to GDB (for example, with the "file"
command) need to be in the Windows form.
However, the regexp only works if your binutils-gdb repo is under a
`/[a-z]/...` path (the Unix paths mapping to Windows drives).
Presumably, that works if you clone the repo in Windows, then access it
through `/c/...`.
In my case, I've cloned the repository directly inside my MinGW shell,
so in /home/smarchi. The regexp therefore doesn't work for me. The
path doesn't get transformed, and the file command fails when running
any test:
(gdb) file /home/smarchi/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent/i386-bp_permanent
/home/smarchi/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent/i386-bp_permanent: No such file or directory.
A safer way to do this is to execute `pwd -W` while in the directory we
want the path for, this is what this patch does.
I have also considered using the using the cygpath utility to do the
conversion. It can be used to convert any MinGW path into its Windows
equivalent. Despite originally coming from Cygwin, the cygpath utility
is distributed by MinGW-w64 and can be used in that environment.
However, it's not distributed with the non-MinGW-w64 MinGW.
The `pwd -W` trick only works with directories that exist, which is the
case here, so it's sufficient.
With this, the file command in the test succeeds:
(gdb) file C:/msys64/home/smarchi/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent/i386-bp_permanent
Reading symbols from C:/msys64/home/smarchi/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent/i386-bp_permanent...
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/gdb.exp (standard_output_file): Use `pwd -W` to convert
from Unix to Windows path.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
