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
Now in gdb, the usual way to do this is run < input.txt. However, it doesn't work for me and when doing this nothing gets redirected into stdin.
I'm using Windows with MinGW. What could be the problem?
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.
