Description
**Describe the bug**
The ordering of --gdb-args="..." and --args ... can be problematic
**To Reproduce**
consider the following bash script:
program=path to the bin file
prefixedDirs="-d dir1_path -d dir2_path"
arguments="$prefixedDirs --args $program -a 1 -b 2 -c 3"
gdb --tui $arguments # this works fine
gdbgui --gdb-args="${arguments}" # error: gdbgui is not able to identify correctly the bin file
gdbgui ${program} --gdb-args="${prefixedDirs}" --args -a 1 -b 2 -c 3 # error: the ordering of the gdb arguments is incorrect
gdbgui ${program} --args -a 1 -b 2 -c 3 --gdb-args="${prefixedDirs}" # error: not permitted by gdbgui, as explained by gdbgui --info
# How can I pass arguments to gdbgui in order to obtain a call to gdb with the correct arguments ordering?
