HELP run arguements in ddd

[Amy Hemmingsen]

Hi,

I am new to using ddd and cannot understand what I am doing wrong. 

I am using ddd-3.3.7 with cygwin and compiled under gcc 3.3.1 (platform win XP).

 

I have written a program that under normal conditions should run a program

with the name tryMe <filename> <int>.

 

In cygwin xterm, argc = 3 and argv = "tryMe simple.rules 0"

 

However, when I run ddd from xwin the values are different.

My argc = 8 and argv points to "

 

portion of log:

-> "run < /dev/tty4 > /dev/tty4 2>&1 simple.rules 0\n"
<- "\n"
<- "Breakpoint 1, main (argc=8, argv=0xa043468) at myRule.y:456\n"
<- "\032\032/home/Amy/iRule/myRule.y:456:15052:beg:0x40483c\n"

 

If I print out the value of argv, it looks like something like this

-> "print argv[0]@(argc)\n"
<- "$2 = {0x22fda4 \"/home/Amy/iRule/tryIt\", 0x22feda \"<\", 0x22fedc \"/dev/tty4\", 0x22fee6 \">\", 0x22fee8 \"/dev/tty4\", 0x22fef2 \"2>&1\", 0x22fef7 \"simple.rules\", 0x22ff04 \"0\"}\n"
<- "(gdb) "

 

argv should look like

"tryMe simple.rules 0"

 

Where is the /dev/tty4 and all the other stuff coming from and is there a way to fix it?

I would hate to write a workaround in the code for running only in ddd as opposed to other environments.

 

Attached is a copy of the .ddd/log file. 

 

So confused and frustrated,

Amy Thompson
