GDB (cygwin-special) Warning: /cygdrive/... No such file or directory

[MortenMacFly]

Here is the patch: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,15136.msg106378.html#msg106378
If it works, I'm OK to commit it.

Notice that there is a way newer version in the patch tracker. Please do not apply this one.

Link?
I see only the patch for the compiler in there.
Also the patch is definitely incomplete.
Because every place a path is sent to GDB should be made to understand cygwin paths.

Maybe I've to spend some time installing cygwin.
Do you know easy step by step instructions to get me going?

The video is in reality 1:38 because you will want to skip from 1:20 to 3:20, slicing off 2 minutes.

NO MORE EXCUSES!

I have one really strong excuse:

Code

Ooops - you are right. Forget about this.

That is definitely true, for the debugger this applies, but also for the editor for example (jump to functions etc...) and also for CC. :-( The /cygdrive stuff will always be there, so a new SDK function to convert Cygwin->OS and OS->Cygwin is needed. Something like "UnixFile".

Will make a donation. I think some of us (cygwiners) could donate as well.

[MortenMacFly]

Something like "UnixFile".

...or how about an "alias" file name for each ProjectFile? Thus, ProjectFile gets extended and the alias is computed always and used just as needed?

[oBFusCATed]

Alias sound ok to me.

Yes, it would be nice to introduce some feature for 'cygdrive' word context and get rid of it in resulting Windows files names where 'cygdrive' appear. In order to vitalize source code stepping in debug. I checked it just changing cbDebuggerPlugin::SyncEditor routine and everything's fine now at me. Al least Win7+Cygwin1.7+gdb7.3+g++-4 succeeds.
But, looking forward to get official backward compatibility and cross-platform changes.

You know, that it's not as easy as that, because IMHO this prefix can be changed, so it is not a "constant" replace.

[littlegene]

Yes, I know )
And 'Warning: /cygdrive/c/.../C: No such file or directory.'
still present. Yet one kind of trouble.
