Can a console application return the FULL PATH for argv[0]?

[reb77]

Is there any way to configure Code::Blocks so that console applications return the FULL PATH for argv[0] instead of only returning the name of the program?  I am using the GNU GCC Compiler.  Thanks!

Prepend $(PROJECT_DIR) in Project -> Properties -> Build targets -> [target] -> Output filename

It worked for me, but there is a chance it won't work for you.

The variable expansion suggestion is not quite what I'm looking for, but thanks for your quick reply anyway.

I am looking for a way for my program itself to know the exact path from where it was executed, even if the *.exe file is copied to a different location (such as when I give it to other users).  Other compilers that I have used (years ago) returned the full path for argv[0], but the GCC C compiler for Code::Blocks only returns the executable file name, not the full path, for argv[0].  I have been searching for a way of changing this, but have not yet found a way.

This is a compiler specific question and not related to C::B itself.
