But one can no longer use empty string as it now means "reset to the factory defaults" to be coherent with other existing GDB commands. I was thinking about using "set auto-load safe-path :" where ":" is the path separator but this would be "set auto-load safe-path ;" on MS-Windows. I just find "/" to be a magic string, which just coincidentally matches root on UNIX systems. Sure I can commit some change if you have a better idea. Thanks, Jan
