            Bug ID: 30017
           Summary: Cygwin gdb fails when given a windows absolute path
           Product: gdb
           Version: 11.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: chgenly at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

This is a problem on cygwin.  Launch the cygwin gdb, give it an windows
absolute path to an executable.  From the output you'll see the symbol table is
loaded, so gdb understands the path.  Yet, when attempting to run the program,
it fails to create the process.

A previous version, 9.2-1, works.

To reproduce the problem, run the following shell script from a cygwin
terminal.

echo Create main.c
cat >main.c <<END
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char**argv) {
   printf("Hello world!");
}
END
echo Compile main.c to main.exe
gcc main.c -o main
cmd="gdb $(cygpath -wa main.exe)"
echo $cmd
$cmd <<END
run
q
END
