I just found that gdb's "run" command doesn't action redirection (e.g. run </dev/pty2 >/dev/pty2 2>&1, where the shell on /dev/pty2 is doing a long sleep). Instead, the invoked program gets the redirections as command line arguments.
Looking through the archives, I found https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/1999-04/msg00355.html documenting this behaviour. Chris Faylor commented at the time that fixing it was more trouble than it appeared. That was 15 years ago - has anything changed since? Anyone up for this or should I have a go? I *could* simply make my target do the redirection itself, but that doesn't help anyone else. OTOH if changing gdb really *is* that hard, maybe I should just change my program anyway. Any advice welcomed, Cheers ... Duncan. -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
