This is primarily a heads-up: I discovered it while testing my strategy for invocation of GDB, such that it will use python-2.7, if available, but does not require it. I alluded to the issue in list posting: https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/lists/archive/users/2020-September/000625.html According to Microsoft's documentation for GetModuleFileName(): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/libloaderapi/nf-libloaderapi-getmodulefilenamea > The global variable _pgmptr is automatically initialized to the > full path of the executable file, and can be used to retrieve the > full path name of an executable file. I guess that not many MinGW users rely on this, because mingwrt hasn't performed this initialization, since the release of mingwrt-3.21, back in December 2014. I've filed a bug report: https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/ticket/40696 -- Regards, Keith.
