gdb: Auto-loading extensions

 
 23.4 Auto-loading extensions
 ============================
 
 GDB provides two mechanisms for automatically loading extensions when a
 new object file is read (for example, due to the 'file' command, or
 because the inferior has loaded a shared library): 'OBJFILE-gdb.EXT' and
 the '.debug_gdb_scripts' section of modern file formats like ELF.
 

Menu

 
· objfile-gdb.ext file objfile-gdbdotext file.  The 'OBJFILE-gdb.EXT' file
· .debug_gdb_scripts section dotdebug_gdb_scripts section.  The '.debug_gdb_scripts' section
· Which flavor to choose?
 
    The auto-loading feature is useful for supplying application-specific
 debugging commands and features.
 
    Auto-loading can be enabled or disabled, and the list of auto-loaded
 scripts can be printed.  See the 'auto-loading' section of each
 extension language for more information.  For GDB command files see
DONTPRINTYET  Auto-loading sequences.  For Python files see *notePython
DONTPRINTYET  Auto-loading sequences.  For Python files see Python

 Auto-loading.
 
    Note that loading of this script file also requires accordingly
 configured 'auto-load safe-path' (Auto-loading safe path).
