             Bug #: 13685
           Summary: skip over long command line
           Product: gdb
           Version: unknown
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: cli
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: d5gnu@tonelli.sns.it
    Classification: Unclassified


hi, I am preparing a scientific program, that processes a lot of images; when I
debug it, I use:

# gdb --args ./src/thatfilter ~/images/*png

This results in gdb being called with a command line argument of ~8000 images.

I then use the command 'run', and 'gdb' starts printing the above arguments, a
few at a time, and the options are 'enter' to show more, or 'q' to quit. If I
hit 'q' then the program is not run. Scrolling all arguments is long and
tedious. 

May you add a 3rd option 's' for skipping the printout, and jumping to the
program debugging? 

thanks. a.
