Descripción
Environment
- OS and Version: Windows
- VS Code Version: 1.122.0
- C/C++ Extension Version: 1.32.2
- If using SSH remote, specify OS of remote machine: Rocky 10
When debugging an cpp application under linux/gdb, then arguments are passed to the gdb without single quotes. For example
"args": [
"\\\\srv\\path1\\path2\\file.txt"
--> in gdb, this arguments arrives as:
-exec p argv[1]
$1 = 0x7fffffffd937 "\\srvpath1path2file.txt"
Putting the argument in additional single quotes is a workaroung when debugging with gdb (but not when debugging on Windows)
"args": [
"'\\\\srv\\path1\\path2\\file.txt'"
==> The cpptools-Extension should quote parameters with a single quote (')
