Why ":" and not ";" ?

If I compile the GDB under MinGW, DIRNAME_SEPARATOR was set to ":".
If you take a look in gdb\defs.h, ";" is only defined in case of
__MSDOS__. I think MinGW will not set this define?!

What happens if you modify defs.h to define DIRNAME_SEPARATOR as `;'? Does the problem go away?

I think in this case, we should change the add_path function too.

I think if DIRNAME_SEPARATOR is `;', add_path will do what you need.


Could you please check that?

BTW, Why do we use DIRNAME_SEPARATOR, instead of PATH_SEPARATOR ? As PATH_SEPARATOR is detected by configure, it is trustable.

I think they will be same value on self builds, right?
Also we can choice to modify xm-.h on cross builds.
