From ace6b9195e34cafa68964fb898d887ed15003fca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Weghorn Date: Mon, 25 May 2020 11:39:20 -0400 Subject: nto_process_target::create_inferior: Pass args as char ** According to [1], the fifth parameter to the 'spawnp' function is 'char * const argv[]', so just pass the args contained in the vector as an array right away, rather than converting that to a C string first and passing that one. With commit 2090129c36c7e582943b7d300968d19b46160d84 ("Share fork_inferior et al with gdbserver", 2016-12-22) the type had changed from 'char **' to 'char *', but I can't see an apparent reason for that, and 'nto_procfs_target::create_inferior' (in gdb/nto-procfs.c) also passes a 'char **' to 'spawnp' instead. I do not know much about that target and cannot actually test this, however. The main motivation to look at this was identifying and replacing the remaining uses of the 'stringify_argv' function which does not properly do escaping.
