But I don't have a strong opinion on this. I find most easy that: (1) "set auto-load safe-path" is evaluated for any auto-loaded file. (2) "set auto-load scripts-directory" is evaluted for auto-loaded scripts. Besides scripts there exist also .gdbinit or libthread-db, more in the future. One checks "set auto-load safe-path" to verify the path is secure. One checks "set auto-load scripts-directory" if it does not load some script. One re-checks "set auto-load safe-path" if GDB refuses to load some file. Combining these two variables / meanings complicates it for my mind. Just giving my point of view. Sure I am terribly biased by implementing it. Regards, Jan
