Hi again,

Updated webrev02 for conditional replacement only for "options". Thanks Dmitry! http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mgronlun/7154809/webrev02/

src/share/classes/com/sun/tools/example/debug/tty/VMConnection.java line 116 - why a JavaDoc style comment beginning?

 line 121 - This removes all instances of single and double quotes
     which might be OK given that this is for options only. For
     example:

         var="don't tread on me"

     will get morphed into:

         var=dont tread on me

     However, I don't know of any options where we need to preserve
     single instances of either single or double quotes.

I think this is OK as is. Thumbs up.

Dan

Thanks Markus

Hi Dmitry, That's a really good reflection! Thank you for this. I will make the replacement logic conditional and only apply to the "options" token instead, this will leave any eventual "' in file names alone. Thanks! Markus

main=some.namespace.java.class, " (or ') is valid character in a file name so it's better not to change it. -Dmitry

However, I didn’t see the need for it really as no existing option values are allowed to contain ' ' in them. The java debugger has a certain amount of predefined delimited set of options, for example: vmexec=java, options= "-client" "-XX:+PrintVMOptions", main=some.namespace.java.class, /Markus

I would like to ask for a review: Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mgronlun/7154809/webrev01/ Bug/CR: 7154809 JDI: update JDI/JDB debugee commandline option parsing (allow nested comma delimited options) (bug is not yet published on bugs.sun.com, I am attaching a copy of the bug description to the mail below) Synopsis: 7154809 JDI: update JDI/JDB debugee commandline option parsing (allow nested comma delimited options) Description: Passing in a double quoted value, such as "-XX:+PrintVMOptions" to the debugee works today. But only because double-quoted options can be passed directly onto the actual VM command-line (where it is stripped by the VM). What does not work is passing the debugee single-quoted values such as '-XX:+PrintVMOptions', although the regexp in VMConnection works ok for proper comma-delimting of option separation. However, single quoted values cannot be passed on directly to the VM, since the VM does not strip these single quotes. Also, values which are contained inside nested quotes like “” value “” and “’ value ‘” will not work for the same reason. To allow for more flexibility in passing delimited values (which needs to be quoted), VMConnection should strip out any quote qualifiers (single and/or double quotes) before passing the options onto the VM. Besides adding more flexibility in option passing, this also allows for more reliable command-line argument handling/processing, as options are always passed non-quoted to the VM. Small fix to VMConnection.java is considered safe and backwards compatible. I would also kindly ask for a sponsor to help me with this putback. Thank you Markus
