VSCode env var ${cwd} does not work when use mingw cross gdb

[WittonBell]

Environment

• OS and version:
  Win10 MinGW
• VS Code:
  1.70.1
• C/C++ extension:
  cpptools 1.11.5
  cmake tools 1.11.26
  CMake language support 0.0.4
  CMake 0.0.17
• OS and version of remote machine (if applicable):
• GDB / LLDB version:
  x86_64-elf-gdb.exe 12.1

Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary:

Start GDB and load the target file. The absolute path must be used, otherwise the target file cannot be found.

I add arg -ex \"pwd\" to miDebuggerArgs, gdb show Working directory H:\msys64\opt\cross64\bin., not my ${workspaceFolder}.

I add arg -cd=${workspaceFolder} to miDebuggerArgs, but occur error:

/usr/bin/env c:\\Users\\admin\\.vscode\\extensions\\ms-vscode.cpptools-1.11.5-win32-x64\\debugAdapters\\bin\\WindowsDebugLauncher.exe --stdin=Microsoft-MIEngine-In-yz2ffplh.lvl --stdout=Microsoft-MIEngine-Out-ic2rorfj.djg --stderr=Microsoft-MIEngine-Error-x2najehp.kci --pid=Microsoft-MIEngine-Pid-4mm211gi.1nh --dbgExe=H:\\msys64\\opt\\cross64\\bin\\x86_64-elf-gdb.exe --interpreter=mi\ -cd=G:\\test\\test\ -ex\ \"file\ build/Kernel/Kernel\"\ -ex\ \"set\ arch\ i386\"\ -ex\ \"b\ kmain\"\ -ex\ \"target\ remote\ :1234\"


   由于 Exception.ToString() 失败，因此无法打印异常字符串。

I think it may be caused by the path separator.

I Test in VS 2022, add arg -cd=${workspaceRoot} to miDebuggerArgs, it work fine.

在Win10 MinGW环境下，VSCode使用交叉调试器gdb来调试程序时，工作目录不是VSCode中设定的${cwd}，而是调试器所在目录，导致无法找到调试目标。它必须使用绝对路径才能正常工作。尝试给gdb传入参数-cd=${workspaceFolder}，但是有报错，可能路径分隔符的问题。我尝试在VS 2022中向交叉调试器gdb传入参数-cd=${workspaceRoot}，可以正常工作。
