Description Danijel Domazet CLA 2019-09-19 03:49:07 EDT 
I am running Eclipse CDT 9.8.1. on OSX Mojave 10.14.6. 

When debugging an application using GDB, the arguments passed to main() seem to be enclosed with single quotes. 

I noticed this when passing filenames to the app, it fails to open files with error "file does not exist". 


One of those bugs that I am ashamed to tell the frends...

Which GDB are you using (Brew, MacPorts, from source)? I think CDT at this point doesn't have much macOS-specific code for the GDB integration so I wonder if it could be seen on Linux too.

I've installed GDB using Brew, it's /usr/local/Cellar/gdb/8.3.
