Bug ID: 26180
Summary: tab completion needs whitespace escaping
Product: gdb
Version: 9.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: gdb
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: noelgrandin at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
create a file with a space in it's name
e.g. touch 'test file'
run gdb
type
r
<space>
t
<tab>
you will end up a screen something like
gdb> r test file
which doesn't work :-)
it would be better if gdb could wrap that file name in quotes, like this
gdb> r 'test file'
or escape it like this
gdb> r test\ file
thanks

--- Comment #2 from Pedro Alves <palves at redhat dot com> ---
I actually have a branch that implements that.
https://github.com/palves/gdb/commits/palves/filename-options
I ran into this while implementing support for filename options in the
gdb::option framework, for "add-inferior -exec FILENAME".
With that, this works:
(gdb) shell touch a\ b
(gdb) run a\ [TAB]
(gdb) run a\ b
As well as:
(gdb) add-inferior -exec a\ [TAB]
(gdb) add-inferior -exec a\ b
The branch also makes GDB's single quoting behaves like Bash's. Currently
single and double quoting behave the same in GDB.
I need to find time to clean that up and submit it upstream.
