Bug 74585

Some comment that may be related:
removing the libtool-shell worked for me, but the 'run'-argument specified in debugger options isn't set, i.e. if a command-line argument is needed, say a filename. The debuggerpart runs the executable without this argument:

With 'libtool' (and program arguments set):
---
/bin/sh -c /home/franke/cvs/sibsim/package/debug/libtool gdb /home/franke/cvs/sibsim/package/debug/src/sibsim -fullname -nx -quiet
(gdb) set edit off 
(gdb) set confirm off 
Excess command line arguments ignored. ("-nx" ...)

"Removing the libtool in project debugging options does solve the problem, but the template is STILL false."

Technically, no. The template is correct, but the debugger plugin code is wrong.


See also bug #58999

Hmmm

I've read bug #58999 and this is a duplicate of that bug but I'm not sure there is a problem in the debugger code. At least i can't see it.

Here's the code (minus extra lines) that start the debugger

    if (!shell.isEmpty())
    {
        *dbgProcess_ << "/bin/sh" << "-c" << shell + " " +config_gdbPath_
                      + "gdb " + application + " -fullname -nx -quiet";
    }
    else
    {
        *dbgProcess_ << config_gdbPath_ + "gdb" << application
                        << "-fullname" << "-nx" << "-quiet";
    }

        *dbgProcess_ << "/bin/sh" << "-c" << shell + " " +config_gdbPath_
                      + "gdb " + application + " -fullname -nx -quiet";


And this is what it produces

/bin/sh -c /home/franke/cvs/sibsim/package/debug/libtool gdb /home/franke/cvs/sibsim/package/debug/src/sibsim -fullname -nx -quiet 

This looks fine to me as a startup command for libtool but we get
the error message "Excess command line arguments ignored. ("-nx" ...)"

Now Roger mentions a problem with seeing '"--fullname"' but I don't see this and Christians output above also doesn't show this type of problem as the strings seem to be expanded properly.

But there is a problem :(

What should we try next? Send bits of code and an explanation to everyone else that's in the dark, please :-)

OK, I retract comment #2. The template IS wrong. Sort of. It appears that when the debugger plugin doesn't find any settings at all it "invents" what it feels is a reasonable default - this is when the libtool option is put in despite not existing in the template.

So, for the "template workaround" to work, the template needs to be explicit in not wanting a debugging shell.

I'll try to fix the template(s) now..


(The larger problem (I guess from reading bug #58999) is that even with the libtool option, it should work. But does not. Correct?) /me really needs to read up on libtool...

This should hopefully work now, with the updated admin files released with 3.0.1.

Assuming fixed.
