Re: reference environment variables from gdb scripts

Hi,

I use .cshrc to update the current pointer
whenever I login to a 32 or 64 bit machine.
If so, I can keep .gdbinit as it is.

BTW, Is there a gdb script functional document?
Is there a gdb script test vector
(or a complete feature checklist)
for each gdb release?

Thanks,
Sheng-Liang

.gdbinit
source ~/.gdb/current/gdb_stl_utils
(ref: http://www.stanford.edu/~afn/gdb_stl_utils/
I try follow the above examples to make some changes for my machine.
I feel it is a little bit hard to debug the scripts.
If you have more gdb script examples, could you email me? Thanks!)

.cshrc
if ( -f ~/.gdb/current ) then
rm ~/.gdb/current
endif
ln -s ~/.gdb/`uname -m` ~/.gdb/current

/home/ssl/.gdb/i686
/home/ssl/.gdb/x86_64
/home/ssl/.gdb/current -> /home/ssl/.gdb/x86_64
