Re: Why gdb 6.5 prints fullname in /cygdrive/... format on Windows?

I think this would be a very bad idea.  GDB outputs paths in its native
format.  If you're using something with a different native format, why
should GDB have to know about that?

It's not hard to convert.  If you know a path is a Cygwin path, you can
use a standalone program (talk to it over a pipe) that invokes
cygwin_conv_to_windows_path or however it's spelled.
