Does anyone know why the cygwin version of gdb doesn't pass exported variables to the program being debugged? I have a simple test case where the program can retrieve an environment variable via getenv(). The program works when NOT running with gdb. If I run the same executable with gdb, either window or non-window mode, the same variable is not defined -- not retrievable via getenv().
Thanks for any help!! cat x.c #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { char *env; env = getenv ("Var1"); printf ("Var1=[%s]\n", env==NULL?"NULL":env); return 0; } gcc -g x.c -o x gcc -dumpversion 2.95.3-5 Maybe the problem is due to: ntdll.dll: No such file or directory. But, dunno what that means either... Also: bash --version GNU bash, version 2.05a.0(2)-release (i686-pc-cygwin) Copyright 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
