Occasionaly we hear about people having problems with GDB not being able to start programs (with "run"/"start"). GDB spawns a shell to start the program, and most often, it'll be the case that the problem is actually with the user's shell setup. GDB has code to disable the use of the shell to start programs. That's the STARTUP_WITH_SHELL macro that native targets could set to 0 in their nm.h file (though no target actually uses it nowadays). This patch makes that setting a run-time knob instead. This will be useful to quickly diagnose such shell issues, and might also come in handy at other times (such as when debugging the shell itself, if you don't have a different shell handy). gdb/ 2013-10-24 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * NEWS (New options): Mention set/show startup-with-shell. * config/alpha/nm-osf3.h (START_INFERIOR_TRAPS_EXPECTED): Set to 2 instead of 3. * fork-child.c (fork_inferior, startup_inferior): Handle 'set startup-with-shell'. (show_startup_with_shell): New function.
