Hi, thank you very much for the testing, and I'm totally agree with you.
In my hacky patch, I use one Windows API function:
#ifdef _WIN32
int get_app_fullpath(char *location, int length)
{
int len = GetModuleFileName(0, location, length);
return len;
}
#endif
This, I get the path of the gdb.exe, then I adjust the path to get the "share" folder.
