Then gdb appends the source file path to the rewritten build directory path, and tries to access that. This fails if either two of the following conditions are true: a) The user didn't specify substitute-path for the build directory. This is highly likely, since path substitution for build directories is not documented anywhere, and since gdb does not tell[0] the user the path to the build directory, just the source file path. b) The source file path changed. This can also easily happen, since a source path that is relative to the build directory can include any number of directory names that are not part of the program source tree (starting with the name of the root directory of the source tree). Gdb will not apply substitute-path to that relative path, thus there is no way for the user to tell gdb about these changes. This commit changes the code to apply substitute-path to all filenames, both relative and absolute. This way it is possible to do things like: set substitute-path ../foobar-1.0 /src/my/foobar-1.0 which is completely in line with the user expectations. This might break unusual cases where build directory path is also relative (is that even possible?) and happens to match the path to the source directory (i.e. happens to match a substitution rule). [0]: There's a "maintenance info symtabs" command that does show the names of the build directories, but normal users are not required to know or use that. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-06-06 Руслан Ижбулатов * source.c (find_and_open_source): Also rewrite relative file names.
