Re: [cdt-dev] Source locator fails for file paths starting with \\

I know the escaping of slashes has been worked on before.
We should check the history of changes for MIParser and see when this extra line was added.
 
But yes, please open a bug to track this.
 
Thanks

Subject: [cdt-dev] Source locator fails for file paths starting with \\

Hi,

When stepping into printf, gdb reports the path of printf.c as follows:
\\build\\tree\\RD-2011.2_kuma\\p4root\\Xtensa\\Target-libs\\newlib\\newlib\\libc\\stdio\\printf.c

This string is unnecessarily escaped again by the MIParser in DSF, resulting in:
\\\\build\\\\tree\\\\RD-2011.2_kuma\\\\p4root\\\\Xtensa\\\\Target-libs\\\\newlib\\\\newlib\\\\libc\\\\stdio\\\\printf.c

When this string is converted into an IPath object, it is de-escaped into a path like:
//build/tree/RD-2011.2_kuma/p4root/Xtensa/Target-libs/newlib/newlib/libc/stdio/printf.c
rather than the correct path:
/build/tree/RD-2011.2_kuma/p4root/Xtensa/Target-libs/newlib/newlib/libc/stdio/printf.c

Due to the extra forward slash in the beginning, source locator fails for printf.c

This is due to a bug in the MIParser for DSF, where it unnecessarily inserts extra escape chars into the strings returned by gdb.

MIParser code for CDI:

private String translateCString(FSB buffer)
...
if (c == '\\') {
                if (escape) {
                    sb.append(c);
                    escape = false;
                } else {
                    escape = true;
                }
            }

MIParser code for DSF:

private String translateCString(FSB buffer)
...
if (c == '\\') {
                if (escape) {
                    sb.append(c);
                    sb.append(c); //this extra append causes the path to have extra slashes in the beginning.
                    escape = false;
                } else {
                    escape = true;
                }
            }

Should I file a bug and attach a patch to remove the extra append() call?
