argc argv problems

[Lee <backrev at yahoo dot com>]

Daniel,

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.  I had
not subscribed to the gdb group yet, so I had not seen
your reply earlier.

This GDB was configured as "i586-suse-linux".

based off of your comments I tried a couple things. 
version 6.3 that came on my suse distro was broke. 
6.5 that was built on a suse box was broke.  I
downloaded the 6.5 rebuilt it on a different machine
and all is well, everything works as expected.

Thanks for your help.  From the threads your a very
busy man.   I will continue to play with this and
maybe throw in some debug on the bad build and figure
out the problem.

but from your perspective the code is good, must be
some kind of build problem

Your GDB appears to be very, very broken.  I get
completely different
results using the same gdbinit, which look correct.

You appear to have edited out your platform.  Where
are you running
this?

$argc and $arg0 and $arg1.

It's all in the GDB manual.  Search for $argc.
