This commit changes how GDB processes command arguments for the following commands: compile file maint print c-tdesc save gdb-index After this commit these commands will now expect their single filename argument to be (optionally) quoted if it contains any special characters (e.g. whit space or quotes). If the filename does not contain any special characters then nothing changes. As an example: (gdb) save gdb-index /path/to/some/directory/ will work before and after this patch. However, if the directory name contains a white space then before this patch a user would write: (gdb) save gdb-index /path/to some/directory/ But this will now fail as GDB will consider this as two arguments, '/path/to' and 'some/directory/'. To pass this single directory name a user must now do one of these: (gdb) save gdb-index "/path/to some/directory/" (gdb) save gdb-index '/path/to some/directory/' (gdb) save gdb-index /path/to\ some/directory/ This brings these commands into line with commands like 'file' and 'symbol-file', which have supported quoted filenames for a while. The motivation for this change is to make handling of filename arguments consistent throughout GDB. We can't move to all commands taking non-quoted filenames as the non-quoted style only allows for a single argument. Additionally, the non-quoted style doesn't allow for filenames that end in white space (though this is probably pretty rare). So, if we want to have consistency the only choice is to move towards supporting quote filenames. Reviewed-By: Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org> |
