E.g. I have a shell environment variable CSR which points to a deep
directory. Now I hope to load the executable file using below command:
         file  $CSR/bin/aaa
But, since GDB can't recognize this environment variable, it can't
load the executable file.

How can I use BASH environment variable in GDB?

Thanks
Weihua

This is not supported.  You might be able to use this hack:

  shell echo file $CSR/bin/aaa > tmp.scr
  source tmp.scr
  shell rm tmp.scr

Does gdb support custom command? If so, I can define the 3 commands
you mentioned as  one custom command.

Thanks
