Multi-byte filenames

Hi,

    I've written a UTF-8 to gdb filename converter for the
netbeans gdb 
module. The
only multi-byte exanples I have use 2 byte characters. Does
gdb accept 3 
and 4 byte
characters? If so, is there a spec on the conversion?

Thanks,
Gordon

GDB does not know anything about UTF-8 or multi-byte
character sets.
It uses exactly what it gets from the debug info and exactly
what it
gets from the user prompt, nothing more.
