Subject: [PATCH 3/4] [PR gdbserver/25893]: Use construct_inferior_arguments which handles special chars
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2020 13:16:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200429111638.1327262-5-m.weghorn@posteo.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200429111638.1327262-1-m.weghorn@posteo.de>
Use the construct_inferior_arguments function instead of
stringify_argv to construct a string from the program
arguments in those places where that one is then passed
to fork_inferior, since construct_inferior_arguments
properly takes care of special characters, while
stringify_argv does not.
Using construct_inferior_arguments seems "natural", since its
documentation also mentions that it "does the
same shell processing as fork_inferior".
This makes gdbserver properly handle program args containing special
characters, e.g. (example from PR25893)
$ gdbserver localhost:50505 myprogram "hello world"
now properly handles "hello world" as a single arg, not two separate
ones ("hello", "world").
I'm not sure regarding the two remaining uses of function stringify_argv
(in win32_process_target::create_inferior and
nto_process_target::create_inferior) whose result is not passed to
fork_inferior and don't know how the arg processing in the creation
of processes on those targets exactly works, so left them unchanged
for now.

* linux-low.cc (linux_process_target::create_inferior),
lynx-low.cc (lynx_process_target::create_inferior): Use
construct_inferior_arguments instead of stringify_argv
to get string representation which properly escapes
special characters.
