Re: Is it not possible to supply run time arguments to ddd on the commandline when starting ddd?

[Milad Fatenejad]

Hello:

I've had to do something like this. Lets say you want to run the program ./a.out with argument arg1...

ddd --debugger "gdb --args ./a.out arg1"

When ddd starts, and you run the program it will run with the arguments that were specified.



I hope this is useful

I take it your answer means that no, it isn't possible?

I need to debug a remote application. I start the remote application(s) via script(s) which pass
arguments to the remote app in the script. I want to modify my scripts so that the the debugger is
kicked off, and preferrable start the application running.

So instead of the scripting contaning

ssh address@hidden app arg1 arg2 arg3

for example, it might contain something like

ssh address@hidden ddd -display localhost:$DISPLAY app arg1 arg2 arg3

If you are running ddd and displaying on your local system, why don't
you want to type in "run arg1 arg2 arg3".  It's not as if you want
this to run non-interactively.

Create a .gdbinit file on the remote system containing "run arg1 arg2 arg3".
This should be executed as soon as gdb starts.

Are you sure you wouldn't be better off running gdbserver on the
remote system?
