I've not really been following the discussion closely, but I was also wondering the same. The ultimate goal seems to be to detect system vs non-system binaries ("system" is the word used in the new proposed knobs even). Isn't the definitive answer making GDB consider files under "/usr/" system binaries (the --prefix by default, but could be somewhere else, thus should be tunable), and everything else, non-system? > [And thus by default everything with separate debug info will > be displayed using absolute file names.] > Or something like that. -- Pedro Alves
