Today I downloaded my own plugin at work to show it to some coworkers, and found out that the debuggers doesn't work if the absolute path to the files contains whitespaces.

In Ddbg the fix is to use double quotes
-> bp "C:/hi bye/main.d":8

In Gdb, however:
(gdb) break "C:/hi bye/main.d":8
No source file named C:/hi bye/main.d":8

Single quotes doesn't work either.

Does anyone know how to do that? I could specify the relative path, but if I have several source paths it's easier just to use the abosulte one.

My guess is that you can escape the spaces with backslashes:

Ugly, but probably doable.  A good reason not to use spaces in pathnames. ;)

try
break "C:/hi bye/main.d:8"

Thanks Jascha! It works!
