Simon mentioned on IRC that, after the startup-with-shell feature has been implemented on gdbserver, it is not possible to specify a filename-only binary, like: $ gdbserver :1234 a.out /bin/bash: line 0: exec: a.out: not found During startup program exited with code 127. Exiting This happens on systems where the current directory "." is not listed in the PATH environment variable. Although including "." in the PATH variable is a possible workaround, this can be considered a regression because before startup-with-shell it was possible to use only the filename (due to reason that gdbserver used "exec*" directly). The idea of the patch is to verify if the program path provided by the user (or by the remote protocol) contains a directory separator character. If it doesn't, it means we're dealing with a filename-only binary, so we call "gdb_abspath" to properly expand it and transform it into a full path. Otherwise, we leave the program path untouched. This mimicks the behaviour seen on GDB (look at "openp" and "attach_inferior", for example). I am also submitting a testcase which exercises the scenario described above. This test requires gdbserver to be executed in a different CWD than the original, so I also created a helper function, "with_cwd" (on testsuite/lib/gdb.exp), which takes care of cd'ing into and out of the specified dir. Built and regtested on BuildBot, without regressions. gdb/ChangeLog: 2018-02-28 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com> Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@polymtl.ca> * common/common-utils.c: Include "sys/stat.h".

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.
