Hi, I just updated my cygwin 64 bit installation in order to resume a programming project that I left aside quite some time ago. Everything seems to work as it used to as I am able to pick up the project where I left it, I can build and run the application however gdb I/O seems broken.
Here are the symptoms: After starting gdb, nothing happens apart from a process gdb.exe is started, however, no output is displayed in the bash window. This is regardless if I supply arguments to gdb or not. gdb is however alive and responsive to input commands, although nothing is echoed or output in the window. For instance, debugging a very simple program that just creates a file and writes some text on it torda@Tord-desktop ~/HelloWorld $ which gdb /usr/bin/gdb <The gdb.exe file size is 7214099 and date is 2020-06-13. I have checked that there are no other instances of gdb.exe on my Cygwin installion> torda@Tord-desktop ~ /HelloWorld $ gdb ./helloworld.exe <from now on I am using gdb blindfolded as nothing is output> run <not echoed> <typing ls and less in another bash window will list a file "helloworld.log" containing "Hello world", which demonstrates that gdb actually did run the program to its completion> quit <returns me to the bash prompt> torda@Tord-desktop ~/HelloWorld $ Hopefully this description is comprehensible, if not please let me know if anything is missing. Any idea what I should look at to troubleshoot the issue?
