Shell commands within DDD

[Trevor Woolven]

Hi there,

I have a gdb command defined in my .gdbinit file that I'd like to be
able to use from inside ddd. The command runs a perl script
that pipes it's output into a temporary file and then 'sources' the
temporary file:

define my_command
shell perl_script $arg0 /dev/ttyS0 > .gdbtmp
source .gdbtmp
end

When I run this inside ddd it (the perl script) hangs and never returns
to ddd whereas it works fine inside gdb by itself.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Trev.
