Here are the patches sent for review (by order of first submission, but pointing at the last exchange): RFC Have an option to tell GDB to detect and possibly handle mismatched exec-files https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-09/msg00580.html Convenience functions $_gdb_setting/$_gdb_setting_str https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-09/msg00581.html Allow the user to define default leading args for commands and aliases https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-09/msg00583.html Implement 'print -raw-values' and 'set print raw-values on|off' https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-09/msg00582.html More flexible user-defined commands prefixing and naming. https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-09/msg00588.html And here is the advocacy to include them ... The first one fixes an annoying GDB behavior. I think the second one is now ready to push. The third and fourth are useful additions or complements to the GDB 9.1 'with' and 'option framework' functionalities. Assuming that with the stabilisation period, there is more review bandwidth, then the last one is nice to have :). Thanks Philippe
