Hmm. Okay.
So that we're all on the same page:
- Insight/gdb are both cygwin-aware. If you type commands at the console
using filenames, these filenames will go through all the cygwin mounts and
such.
- The tcl interpreter in Insight is NOT cygwin-aware. If you write custom
tcl commands for use with Insight, you must be careful to use
"ide_cygwin_path" to convert to/from cygwin paths from/to windows paths.
I think that's all there is.
Feeling less confused now. :v)
