[gdbserver/win32] fatal "glob could not process pattern '(null)'" error
Trying to start GDBserver on Windows currently yields the following error... $ gdbserver.exe --once :4444 simple_main.exe glob could not process pattern '(null)'. Exiting ... after which GDB terminates with a nonzero status. This is because create_process in win32-low.c calls gdb_tilde_expand with the result of a call to get_inferior_cwd without verifying that the returned directory is not NULL: | static BOOL | create_process (const char *program, char *args, | DWORD flags, PROCESS_INFORMATION *pi) | { | const char *inferior_cwd = get_inferior_cwd (); | std::string expanded_infcwd = gdb_tilde_expand (inferior_cwd); This patch avoids this by only calling gdb_tilde_expand when INFERIOR_CWD is not NULL, which is similar to what is done on GNU/Linux for instance. gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog: PR server/23158: * win32-low.c (create_process): Only call gdb_tilde_expand if inferior_cwd is not NULL.
