Debugger target command line args containing semicolon are truncated
tsondergaard opened this issue · comments
Environment
- OS and version: AlmaLinux 9.4
- VS Code: 1.89.1
- C/C++ extension: 1.20.5
- OS and version of remote machine (if applicable): N/A
- GDB / LLDB version: GNU gdb (GDB) AlmaLinux 12.1-5.el9
Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce
Bug Summary:
When launching gdb with the "args": ["foo;bar"] the target application only sees foo - ;bar is lost
Steps to reproduce:
- On Linux (I use VSCode running on linux and connect to AlmaLinux 9.4 running in WSL2)
- Put the provided debugger configuration in launch.json
- Launch the debugger
- See the the program echoes "foo" when it should echo "foo;bar"
Observations:
- It looks in the debugger log like the arguments are passed verbatim via MI to gdb as
-exec-arguments foo;bar\n - A semicolon with a
" "or"("on one side or the other does not result in argument truncation. See the various examples commented out in the debugger configuration below

The debugger logs provided above are accidentally using an overridden gdb:
$ ll ~/.local/bin/gdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ts ts 39 Feb 25 18:58 /home/ts/.local/bin/gdb -> /opt/rh/gcc-toolset-13/root/usr/bin/gdb
But behaviour is the same with RHEL 9.4 stock /usr/bin/gdb (GNU gdb (GDB) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.2-13.el9)
I can reproduce the behaviour with /usr/bin/gdb on the command line using --interpreter=mi using this string of commands:
-gdb-set target-async on-file-exec-and-symbols /bin/echo-exec-arguments foo;bar-exec-run
As can be seen the inferior outputs only foo, not foo;bar:
$ /usr/bin/gdb --interpreter=mi -nx -q
=thread-group-added,id="i1"
(gdb)
-gdb-set target-async on
^done
(gdb)
-file-exec-and-symbols /bin/echo
^done
(gdb)
-exec-arguments foo;bar
^done
(gdb)
-exec-run
=thread-group-started,id="i1",pid="23252"
=thread-created,id="1",group-id="i1"
=library-loaded,id="/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2",target-name="/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2",host-name="/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2",symbols-loaded="0",thread-group="i1",ranges=[{from="0x00007ffff7fc9090",to="0x00007ffff7feeb43"}]

=thread-exited,id="1",group-id="i1"
=thread-group-exited,id="i1",exit-code="0"
*stopped,reason="exited-normally"
If I change -exec-arguments foo;bar to -exec-arguments "foo;bar" then /bin/echo outputs foo;bar.
Hm, I can see with execsnoop that gdb actually uses bash to launch the executable:
$ sudo -E /usr/share/bcc/tools/execsnoop |grep foo
bash 3880 3853 0 /bin/bash -c exec /usr/bin/echo foo;bar
echo 3880 3853 0 /usr/bin/echo foo
This also happens when I just run gdb --args /bin/echo "foo;bar", but here I can see in the execsnoop output that the semicolon gets escaped:
$ sudo -E /usr/share/bcc/tools/execsnoop |grep foo
gdb 5952 16623 0 /usr/bin/gdb --args /bin/echo foo;bar
bash 5974 5952 0 /bin/bash -c exec /usr/bin/echo foo\;bar
echo 5974 5952 0 /usr/bin/echo foo;bar
I also checked qt-creator version 12.0.1 and it has the same behaviour as Visual Studio Code, i.e. the same bug. Now I'm uncertain if this is an issue in Visual Studio Code or gdb.
I can disable gdb's use of a shell with set startup-with-shell off or equivalently in gdb MI lingo -gdb-set startup-with-shell off. Doing this fixes the reported issue.
This means this is not a vscode or vscode-cpptools problem as adding "setupCommands": [ { "text": "-gdb-set startup-with-shell off" }] allows this to be done. Here is the full working configuration:
{
"name": "example",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "/bin/echo",
"args": [
"foo;bar"
],
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"externalConsole": false,
"MIMode": "gdb",
"setupCommands": [ { "text": "-gdb-set startup-with-shell off" }]
}
Not a vscode-cpptools problem. Closing issue.
