    Description

      Each time gdb with version >= 9 is executed on Windows, it emits this warning into stderr:

      warning: Couldn't determine a path for the index cache directory

      The workaround on Windows seems to be to assign environment variable HOME the value of USERPROFILE (at least that is the prevailing solution if one searches for the warning message).

      The reason for a cache directory is explained here: https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Index-Files.html
