Exectution Directory and Debbuger Working Directory

<< < (2/3) > >>

le Pape:
Okay, I think I've found the origin of the problem. Though, I don't know how to correct it (otherwise than by a dirty workaround) or if it is a bug ?

I printed argv[0], that was used someplace in the code and there was a difference between "run" and "debug" :

While runing : "C:\Some\Path\To\My\Project\ProjectName\bin\ProjectNameD.exe"
While debugging : "C:\Some\Path\To\My\Project\ProjectName/bin/ProjectNameD.exe"
That \o/ syndrome...

Do you know where I could configure Code::Blocks to have it debugging with "C:\Some\Path\To\My\Project\ProjectName\bin\ProjectNameD.exe" ?
I saw there was a way to force forward slash / with the tools, but it won't help.  :-\

I still can programmatically reformat the input string if needed, but it would be an awfull workaround...  ;D

oBFusCATed:
The native API folder delimiter is '/', the sooner you switch to it the better :)

le Pape:
Hi oBFusCATed :)

Thanks for your advice, but...

I'm sorry, I don't get it.
How do I switch ?

For example, when I right-click on my project and open the "Project Settings", in the Filename field, I have : "C:\Some\Path\To\My\Project\ProjectName\ProjectName.cbp"
How do I tell Code::Blocks to change this with forward slashes ?

As I don't use a custom Makefile, the path to the Makefile (Execution Directory) is grayed and given with backslashes.

And more importantly : how do I tell the debugger and/or the runner to pass first argument to the main function with forward slashes instead of backslashes in the path ?


I'm working on Windows... I thought that with Seven there was some improvement in the tolerance of the '/' but that the default delimiter still was '\\' ?

Any clue on how to switch ? (I must have googled with the wrong keywords  :-\ )

oBFusCATed:
The low level apis use the '/' or at least have no problem with them.
So my advice was to convert all '\' to '/' at the beginning of your program and be done with it.
You can go the alternative way also -> convert all '/' characters to '\'.

le Pape:
But there is neither '\' nor '/' at the beginning of my program... ???

I can summarize my problem to this :


--- Code: ---//========Main.cpp=========

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
    cout << argv[0] << endl;
    return 0;
}

--- End code ---


Project parameters : default
compiler : GNU GCC (MinGW)


Run Output :


--- Code: ---C:\Path\To\That\Test\Project\Problem\bin\
Debug\Problem.exe

Process returned 0 (0x0)   execution time : 0.017 s
Press any key to continue.

--- End code ---

Debug Output :


--- Code: ---C:\Path\To\That\Test\Project\Problem/bin/
Debug/Problem.exe

--- End code ---


What should I change in this project to have either only '\' or only '/' ?
I did not write any '\' or '/', it's only the system that is writing it  :-\ That's why I don't know how to have it another way  :(

I'm sorry, but I really don't get it *puzzled*
