Input redirection in gdb (MinGW)

Question

I\'m trying to get gdb to run programs with input redirection to stdin. For example, without gdb I would run a program like this:

prog < input.txt
         


        

Answer 1

I ran into the same issue here, and I just got into the habit of adding a command-line argument to allow grabbing input from a file.

e.g. Parsing a "-i ifile" argument using argc and argv to get input from ifile instead of stdin and parsing a "-o ofile" to write output to ofile instead of stdout.

Then I just use those arguments instead of redirects.

The tools that come with MinGW often are not the latest versions and often have features omitted. ::shrug::
