2.2.1(0.289/5/3), GCC5.2.0 Possible Bug

2.2.1(0.289/5/3), GCC5.2.0 Possible Bug

[Sebastian Götzinger]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

We had some issues with our program (a wrapper for compiler).

Somehow, not all arguments have been transported correctly to the compiler.

We now bootstrapped gcc-5.2.0 and let it run alone with gdb for cygwin.

During that, we encountered, that during the compilerinvocation, the 
Doublequotes did not got escaped correctly. [1]

Because of that, gcc tells us, it has no input files... so how could we 
get rid of that?

Best regards,
Sebastian Götzinger.

I'm not the person to answer this, but I can confirm same behavior here.

On Linux:
$ gdb --args bash -c "bash -c ls"
will run the `ls` program successfully after typing `r` inside the debugger.

However, on Cygwin, the above command will run into bash shell.

As a workaround, I use a command file like below:
$ cat command.txt
r -c "bash -c ls"

and then start gdb like below:
$ gdb bash --command command.txt

(hmm, I didn't realized it is a bug, that's why i have to use the
workaround, thanks for pointing out that)

Oh, sorry, I mean it might not be a gcc bug, instead it might be a bug
of gdb who didn't translate double quotes correctly.
