gcore: Make tilde-expanded filename visible

Programming / Debugging / GDB - Pedro Alves [redhat.com] - 9 August 2013 10:30 UTC

Most commands in GDB show the tilde-expanded filename in user visible output. This makes gcore behave the same.

Before:

(gdb) generate-core-file ~/a/b Failed to open '~/a/b' for output. (gdb) generate-core-file ~/core Saved corefile ~/core

After:

(gdb) generate-core-file ~/a/b Failed to open '/home/pedro/a/b' for output. (gdb) generate-core-file ~/core Saved corefile /home/pedro/core

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.

gdb/ 2013-08-09 Pedro Alves

- gcore.c (create_gcore_bfd): Don't use tilde_expand here. (gcore_command): Use tilde_expand here, and when showing the filename to the user, show the expanded version.
