Debugger alters command line arguments

Compile the following on windows

include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, const char **argv) {
    if (argc < 2) return 0;
    puts(argv[1]);
    getchar();
    return 0;
}

Compile into an exe and run with the command line argument https://www.google.com and you will see the correct output.

Load into Ghidra debugger, in dbgeng locally in vm, append the same command line argument and run until the results appear.

Yes, the idea is to unify the machine-state modification story across the UI. Listing (via Patch Instruction, Patch Data, and Paste actions); Memory Bytes (via Paste action or editing the bytes); Registers; and Watches windows. Feature-wise, it’s nearly complete, but I’m in the process of smoothing the rough edges, then testing.

Hmmmm, yes, sadly that appears to be true. I think there’s a ticket in for this (may even be an active branch for it from @nsadeveloper789), but for the moment you may be stuck using the Interpreter window.
