Hi,
 I was just wondering how I can pass a hashmark (also pound sign in the US)
as argument to gdb. I was trying to debug this

  a.out -! -# -x test.file

where the sources are not my work, so I'd rather not mess with them.
As it happens, the -# is used. Now, I tried
  gdb ./a.out -! -# -x test.file              (args get ignored)
  (gdb) set args -! -# -X test.file           (all after the # is ignored)
  (gdb) set args -! -\# -X test.file          (all after the # is ignored)
  (gdb) set args -! -\\# -X test.file         (all after the # is ignored)
  (gdb) set args -! -\\\# -X test.file        (all after the # is ignored)

So -- is there any way to pass that one? (Oh, I tried a variety of
qutation marks around the args, the # and all that, too. maybe i didn't
hit the right combination? Couldn't find anything in the manual, either.)

  Kind regards,   Stefan
