This commit adds new "set/show cwd" commands, which are used to set/show the current working directory of the inferior that will be started. The idea here is that "set cwd" will become the de facto way of setting the inferior's cwd. Currently, the user can use "cd" for that, but there are side effects: with "cd", GDB also switches to another directory, and that can impact the loading of scripts and other files. With "set cwd", we separate the logic into a new command. To maintain backward compatibility, if the user issues a "cd" command but doesn't use "set cwd", then the inferior's cwd will still be changed according to what the user specified. However, "set cwd" has precedence over "cd", so it can always be used to override it. "set cwd" works in the following way: - If the user sets the inferior's cwd by using "set cwd", then this directory is saved into current_inferior ()->cwd and is used when the inferior is started (see below). - If the user doesn't set the inferior's cwd by using "set cwd", but rather use the "cd" command as before, then this directory is inherited by the inferior because GDB will have chdir'd into it. On Unix-like hosts, the way the directory is changed before the inferior execution is by expanding the user set directory before the fork, and then "chdir" after the call to fork/vfork on "fork_inferior", but before the actual execution. On Windows, the inferior cwd set by the user is passed directly to the CreateProcess call, which takes care of the actual chdir for us. This way, we'll make sure that GDB's cwd is not affected by the user set cwd. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-10-04 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com> * NEWS (New commands): Mention "set/show cwd". * cli/cli-cmds.c (_initialize_cli_cmds): Mention "set cwd" on "cd" command's help text. * common/common-inferior.h (get_inferior_cwd): New prototype. * infcmd.c (inferior_cwd_scratch): New global variable.
