Hi,

Just encountered this rather nice bug:

Debugging a project in Lazarus, linux.

I have in "Run Parameters"
Command-line parameters: "https://www.google.be/ out"

I copy all sources to windows, open the project start debugging. And get an error. Wondering what it is, I see that the command-line parameters setting was changed to

Command-line parameters: "https:\\www.google.be\ out"

Which is of course wrong...

I understand where it comes from, but do suggest to leave the entry in this box alone...

Or at least recognize "https:" and don't touch.

z.

Under Linux '\' are converted when running with the gdb debugger.
It does not happen when running with the 'none' debugger.

Maybe this gives Martin an idea.

I think that might be a plausible rule for all places where slashes are munged, since most UIs now understand this type of "protocol" prefix.

Indeed, some kind of protocol/URI recognition would be nice.

Better not tou

Confirmed, or rather, they are in most cases dropped.

That is a different issue though. And they do not get changed from \ to /

The problem is that gdb sees them as escape char.

<-exec-arguments -a /b \c \/d>
^done
(gdb)

and the app will see
-a /b c /b

I will ave to test this across different versions of gdb, to make sure, that a fix will not break some versions.
