backspace still does not work in gdb-ia

[K__Y]

This was already noted in post by  mahler, aaron Tue, 01/14/2020 - 08:20.  Post was closed without a resolution.  His second post is missing.

gdb-ia 8.2.1/redhat, shipped with Parallel studio (parallel_studio_xe_2019.5.075) has broken command line.  Backspace does not work with any terminal setting, even though regular gdb works fine. This is definitely gdb-ia frontend bug.

Is there any resolution for this, please?  Debugger is very hard to use because of this bug.

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

We have checked with the new version of gdb-ia 8.3.20 which comes with Parallel Studio XE 2020 and the issue is fixed in the latest versions.

Could you please upgrade your PSXE and confirm that the issue is resolved.

Thanks

Hi Prasanth,

Parallel Studio XP 2020 for c++ is not yet published on our internal software site. There is 2020 Fortran edition, I am working out license server issues.  
Once I will be able to try, I will confirm.

Thanks.

Hi,

Can we close the case for now, since the issue has been fixed in the latest version of gdb-ia?

You can confirm when you upgrade to the latest version.

Thanks

I had tried Parallel XE c++ 2020, gdb-ia problem has been fixed.  Thank you.
