Hi,
I think this is a problem of emacs and cygwin mount mismatch. I wish
someone can share some thought on it. Thanks.
1. I have a cygwin-mount root directory (/) as follows
c:\cygwin / type system (binmode) ; mount -b
-s c:\\cygwin /
2. Under the directory /home/foo (i.e. c:\cygwin\home\foo), I have
hello.c and hello.exe
3. I launched the gdb though emacs, as follows
cd /home/foo
M-x gdb
file hello
b main
run
4. So far everything seems fine (thanks)
5. The problem:
When the execution stopped at the breakpoint 'main', gdb
brought up a empty source buffer 'hello.c'. When I M-x pwd from this empty
source buffer, IT IS c:/home/foo. Please note that there is a drive
designator, c:, prefixing the posix path /home/foo.
6. If I remount c:\cygwin to /cygwin, the problematic path will
become c:/cygwin/home/foo, and the source buffer 'hello.c' is OK.
So what is the problem? Thanks for any suggestion.
Best Regards,
Xiangmin
