debugging programme with parameters

[Michael Elizabeth Chastain]

Use the "set args" command inside gdb:

  (gdb) set args "3+(2-4)*5"
  (gdb) run

"set args" is sticky; it stays from run to run.

With gdb 5.2, you can also set the arguments on the gdb command line:

  % gdb --args calc "3+(2-4)*5"

Cheers,
