Programming

I hope this is the right thread - not sure if it belongs in the Linux forum. Anyway, I'm having an issue with ddd and gdb. When using ddd to run gdb, there are extra parameters being appended, and my program is picking them up.

I'm running on Ubuntu 11.04...

Here's my command line entry -

> ddd --debugger "gdb --args psar -sqldb zsebbipa.psar.db_10-12-2011_000000 -n"

But...here's what is actually running when gdb is invoked -

> 1001 6896 31937 5 11:46 pts/0 00:00:00 ddd --debugger gdb --args psar -sqldb zsebbipa.psar.db_10-12-2011_000000 -n
> 1001 6902 6896 1 11:46 pts/1 00:00:00 gdb --args psar -sqldb zsebbipa.psar.db_10-12-2011_000000 -n -q -fullname

Notice the '-q -fullname' begin appended to gdb. My program is picking these up and choking on them. My guess is that the intention was for the '-q -fullname' to be inserted before the '--args' parameter, but I'm not sure. Anyone ever run into this?

Those are indeed supposed to go before args and not after, this must be a bug.
