assemble command doesn't work when using a shell other than bash

[tyilo]

The assemble command calls shell which executes in the current shell which could be sh or in my case fish.

I second that. Doesn't work with zsh either. A fix would be appreciated :(

[gdbinit]

The shell is provided by gdb itself.
@ gdb/cli/cli-cmds.c
if ((user_shell = (char *) getenv ("SHELL")) == NULL)
user_shell = "/bin/sh";

Are fish or zsh setting that environment variable?

[tyilo]

Yes it is set automatically in zsh:

$ echo $SHELL
/opt/local/bin/zsh

My current work-around is alias gdb='SHELL=/bin/bash gdb' in .zshrc.
