I've also reproduced the problem while running gnat-gps itself under gdb (!). The problem appears to be in g-expect.adb, which is part of libgnat-4.6.so. However I don't know yet if it is a bug in g-expect.adb or a bug in the way gnat-gps calls it.
Thanks a lot for the workaround, I didn't know about the existence of gdb-minimal. This workaround suggests that perhaps the full gdb interferes with Expect by doing things to its tty that Expect doesn't support. I'll upload a new gnat-gps that does not recommend gdb but recommends gdb-minimal instead. -- Ludovic Brenta. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
