Hi, here is a small program. when, when i am debugging, <and analyzing core> it shows me All e replaced by \e <Correction, I doubt Not All e, but some e.> here is the sample program and output.
Is this gdb Bug ? <on AIX> <please note : i am unable to check this on latest version of gdb.> bash-3.00$ cat test.c #include<stdio.h> #include<memory.h> #include<stdlib.h> #include<unistd.h> int main () { char *some_array="mera naam raxit hain, these are more eeeeeee"; printf("\n Just printing Array Whroooooooom = %s",some_array); memcpy(0x0,0x0,10000);/* Intentional */ sleep(10); printf("Run Successfully...Buggy "); return 0; } bash-3.00$ gcc -v Using built-in specs.
