[cdt-dev] MBS Slash issues

[Doug Schaefer <DSchaefer@xxxxxxx>]

Hey gang,

 

I’ve recently run across a problem with gdb and dwarf in MinGW’s lastest compiler and debugger distribution. If we build using the toOSString to generate the file names, gdb gets confused by the ‘\’ file separator. If I use ‘/’ it’s fine.

 

Now this is obviously a bug with gdb dealing with Windows path names, but to make life easier for the gnu tools, we could change the separator to ‘/’ in the command generator for all platforms.

 

The question is, does anyone have a tool that needs Windows file separators for file names. I checked Microsoft’s cl and link and they seems fine with ‘/’. Obviously gcc, is fine with it.
