Subject: Re: [patch] GDB 7.2: new feature for "backtrace" that cuts path to file (remain filename)

Yeah, I am wondering which way would be best. It seems like a Python
backtrace decorator would already work, or could be made to work.
But on the other hand, we can't ignore the fact that linking against
the Python library is not necessary easy. In particular, things seems
to work OK on Windows, but I noticed that GDB crashes when trying to
source a Python script. I haven't tried linking with Python on x64
Windows yet.

So, there are pluses and minuses on both ends.  I am wondering
what everyone else thinks...

If we were to implement this in GDB itself, I'd rather go with
a setting rather than a command-line option. But that's just
a suggestion.
