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

Input redirection is supported starting with GDB 8.0. From the NEWS file:

• Native debugging on MS-Windows supports command-line redirection

  Command-line arguments used for starting programs on MS-Windows can now include redirection symbols supported by native Windows shells, such as '<', '>', '>>', '2>&1', etc. This affects GDB commands such as "run", "start", and "set args", as well as the corresponding MI features.
