Mac 10.8.5: Crash on opening project in CB 12.11

<< < (2/2)

BlueHazzard:
simple and quick solution: don't use spaces/special character in your paths...

EKrunk:
I wouldn't call that a solution, I'd call it a workaround.

I would call the current behavior a "bug".  In this day and age, spaces are common in file and directory names.  To have things fail (with no advanced warning) if you have file/directory names with spaces in them, feels all kinds of ancient (like the DOS days).

Just my opinion, YMMV.

Feel free to submit a patch that fixes the issue.

MortenMacFly:
There is no need for a fix.You can enable to use 8.3 file names in the compiler options. Then the path to the object files in the executable will work with gdb as expected. Note that this use a gdb limitation, not a c::b one.
