This commit changes the 'target ...' commands that accept a filename to take a quoted or escaped filename rather than a literal filename. What this means in practice is that if you are specifying a filename that contains no white space or quote characters, then nothing should change, e.g.: target exec /path/to/some/file works both before and after this commit. However, if a user wishes to specify a file containing white space then either the entire filename needs to be quoted, or the special white space needs to be escaped. Before this patch a user could write: target exec /path/to a file/containing spaces But after this commit the user would have to choose one of: target exec "/path/to a file/containing spaces" or target exec /path/to\ a\ file/containing\ spaces Obviously this is a potentially breaking change. The benefit of making this change is consistency. Commands that take multiple arguments (one of which is a filename) or in the future, commands that take filename options, will always need to use quoted/escaped filenames, so converting all unquoted filename commands to use quoting or escaping makes the UI more consistent. Additionally (though this is probably not a common problem), GDB strips trailing white space from commands that the user enters. As such it is not possible to reference any file that ends in white space unless the quoting / escaping style is used. Though I suspect very few users run into this problem! The downside obviously is that this is a UI breaking change. Reviewed-By: Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org> |

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.
