Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Add some linker namespaces conveniences
Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2025 17:44:24 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250409204427.1680979-1-guinevere@redhat.com> (raw)
This series is a second step in improving the User Experience of
debugging inferiors with multiple namespaces. It adds 2 things to make
it more convenient for users to understand what the inferior is doing.
The first patch adds convenience variables, specifically
_active_linker_namespaces and _current_linker_namespaces. These can be
used to track where in the execution of an inferior the user is, and
could be used in breakpoint conditions to stop at a specific namespace.
The third patch adds a new command, "info linker-namespaces", to help the
user check what solibs are loaded, and where. To make the patch more
readable, the second patch is a minor refactor of the command "info
sharedlibrary".
The documentation changes have already been reviewed by Eli, changes for
v2 were minimal, only due to naming change.
Changes for v2:
* Renamed new command and variables to explicitly mention linker
namespaces
Guinevere Larsen (3):
gdb: add convenience variables around linker namespace debugging
gdb: factor out printing a table of solibs for info sharedlibrary
GDB: Introduce "info namespaces" command
