gdb Support for Python
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
gdb 7 and later
|
|
---------------
|
|
In gdb 7, support for extending gdb with Python was added. When CPython is
|
|
built you will notice a python-gdb.py file in the root directory of your
|
|
checkout. Read the module docstring for details on how to use the file to
|
|
enhance gdb for easier debugging of a CPython process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
gdb 6 and earlier
|
|
-----------------
|
|
The file at ``Misc/gdbinit`` contains a gdb configuration file which provides
|
|
extra commands when working with a CPython process. To use the file, either
|
|
copy the commands to your personal gdb configuration file or symlink
|
|
``~/.gdbinit`` to ``Misc/gdbinit``.
