[Github-comments] [geany-plugins] Debugger again fails with nonascii paths (1.27) (#416)

[Colomban Wendling]

OK, looks like it god broken again with d21c65372dea0268a975d0be4216afc9bb91dc1f, which fixes handling of `\`s and `"` in file names.

Interestingly enough, apparently the escaping required for `-file-exec-and-symbols`, the command used to load the file, is not really the same than the one needed for i.e. `-break-insert`.  So with the current status, it's no possible to load an executable that contains non-ASCII in its path, but it's possible to debug an executable whose source files contain non-ASCII in their paths.

`-file-exec-and-symbols` seems to only accept escapes `\\` and `"`, and seem happy about everything else -- but newlines `\n`, which I couldn't find how to escape.

`-break-insert` accepts more complex escapes, like `\ooo` octal sequences the above-mentioned patch introduced.

Seems like I only tested with non-ASCII in the source files, not the executable.  I'll fix that, yet I'm not sure if I should lower the escaping everywhere or only when it's actually required -- that might affect setups where the file system locale is not the system one, or more generally non-UTF-8 systems (which I don't have at hand, so can't test).
