Delete all breakpoints with less typing

Delete all breakpoints with less typing

[Chris Stankevitz]

Hello,

This is how I delete all breakpoints:

(gdb) del b
Delete all breakpoints? (y or n) y
(gdb)

6 characters for the command plus two more to confirm.  I'm used to MSVC 
which does it with one stroke (SHIFT-F9).  Is there a way to remove 
breakpoints in gdb with less typing and no confirmation?

Thank you!

Chris

It's just "d" if you really want to abbreviate.

You can disable confirmation by "set query off".

Absolutely!  

The " b" is not necessary, since "delete" defaults to 
"delete breakpoint".  Now you're down to four keystrokes plus two.

And "set confirm off" will assure gdb that you know
what you want to do.  Down to four keystrokes total.

We would not want you getting RSS because of gdb!

Er, Michael's right.  It's "set confirm".

Thanks everyone, this is working great!

If you really want to get crazy, bind F9 to a readline keyboard macro
that deletes the current line, enters "delete b RET y RET" (or if that
doesn't work, "delete 1-10000 RET"), and then yanks the previously
deleted text.  See (info "(readline)Readline Init File Syntax") for
more information.

You could of course do this in Emacs' gud mode as well :-)
