From bea571ebd78ee29cb94adf648fbcda1e109e1be6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Weghorn Date: Mon, 25 May 2020 11:39:43 -0400 Subject: Use construct_inferior_arguments which handles special chars Use the construct_inferior_arguments function instead of stringify_argv to construct a string from the program arguments in those places where that one is then passed to fork_inferior (linux-low, lyn-low), since construct_inferior_arguments properly takes care of special characters, while stringify_argv does not. Using construct_inferior_arguments seems "natural", since its documentation also mentions that it "does the same shell processing as fork_inferior". Since construct_inferior_args has been extended to do proper quoting for Windows shells in commit 5d60742e2dd3c9b475dce54b56043a358751bbb8 ("Fix quoting of special characters for the MinGW build.", 2012-06-12), use it for the Windows case as well. (I could not test that case myself, though.) Adapt handling of empty args in function 'handle_v_run' in gdbserver/server.cc to just insert an empty string for an empty arg, since that one is now properly handled in 'construct_inferior_arguments' already (and inserting a "''" string in 'handle_v_run' would otherwise cause that one to be treated as a string literally containing two quote characters, which 'construct_inferior_args' would preserve by adding extra escaping). This makes gdbserver properly handle program args containing special characters (like spaces), e.g. (example from PR25893) $ gdbserver localhost:50505 myprogram "hello world" now properly handles "hello world" as a single arg, not two separate ones ("hello", "world"). gdbserver/ChangeLog: PR gdbserver/25893 * linux-low.cc (linux_process_target::create_inferior), lynx-low.cc (lynx_process_target::create_inferior), win32-low.cc (win32_process_target::create_inferior): Use construct_inferior_arguments instead of stringify_argv to get string representation which properly escapes special characters. * server.cc (handle_v_run): Just pass empty program arg as such, since any further processing is now handled via construct_inferior_arguments.
