Add a way to set working directory when connecting to remote GDB is used about seer

[epasveer]

I didn't know the "working path" was relevant for the connect mode. I purposely left it out.

I can easily add it back. And if it has an added benefit of shortening those path names in the source browsers, all the better.

(And add it back to the attach mode).

I try to use more of Seer functions. Turns out that 'Functions' tab has exactly what I wanted:

'File' column is what I would like to see for 'Source' one.

I'm looking into this. The list I get from gdb is basically the output of "info sources". It seems to always include the full path.

There are these commands, but they only affect tracebacks stackframes.

set filename-display relative
set filename-display absolute
set filename-display basename
show filename-display

What happens when you're in Seer and you enter this command in the Command Bar?

In my example, the full path is given.

Do you have an example where gdb shows the filename as abbreviated?

I've re-added the "working directory" to 'attach' and 'connect' modes. "main" is up to date.

I'm not sure about the long names, though. I don't think gdb does anything different. Please confirm if you can. Otherwise, in your example, how would you like the long names to appear? Something like going from this:

/nas/erniep/Development/seer/tests/hellostruct/hellostruct.cpp

to just file and one directory. Like:

../hellostruct/hellostruct.cpp

It can be made toggle-able between "full view" and "shortened view".

set filename-display relative
set filename-display absolute
set filename-display basename
show filename-display

'info sources' gives fullnames each time

'info sources' gives fullnames each time

Thanks for confirming.

Those "set filename..." calls apply to everything but "info sources". Not sure why gdb was written that way.
