Subject: [Bug gdb/10909] New: segfault when STARTUP_WITH_SHELL = 0, in breakup_args.
Date: Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:58:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091105145840.10909.scott.sourceware.2009@scottrix.co.uk> (raw)

Setting STARTUP_WITH_SHELL to 0 in inferior.h means that gdb segfaults when
trying to run a program with arguments.  This is because of the code:

-      cp = strchr (cp, ' ');
-      if (cp == NULL)
-  cp = strchr (cp, '\t');
-      if (cp == NULL)
-  cp = strchr (cp, '\n');

Which is clearly broken.  While google I found a post which suggests this
problem has been there since at least 5.3 !!!.  I will attach a suggested patch.
