One thing I would suggest is to create several .gdbinit.foo files for different functionality so that one can create a custom .gdbinit simply by including the desired set of .gdbinit.foo files. Thus making it easier for people who already have a hacked .gdbinit to use these new functions as well. Note that some of the functions may very well end up being very MD (such as the manual stack traces of other pids by examining the stack, etc.) so we might want to think about a way of handling MD scripts vs. MI scripts. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
