I guess the question is, how does gas or dwarf2dbg handle relative paths now? Calling gas with just the filename and no path yields absolute dwarf2 source-file paths in cygwin format, while calling gas with the absolute path in C:\ format yields dwarf2 paths in C:\ format (except for the forward-slash bug). In between, there must already be some intelligence that resolves relative paths into absolute paths -- probably in favor of cygwin? Anyway, from a user perspective, it's easy to feed an absolute path to gas to force dwarf2 information to be in C:\ format; and, a source no less than Microsoft TechNet says that "your computer can use 26 drive letters, from A through Z" -- no multiple-char drive letters mentioned there. So I'd agree that basing the '\' or '/' heuristic on string[1] == ':' will enable those who are using a non-cygwin debugger under Windows to proceed, while not inconveniencing those (probably the vast majority of gas users) who aren't. When my dev system is back up I'll test and let you know. Thanks again!
