My friend, I have just the thing you need!
It slices! It dices! It prevents gdb from
needlessly fetching memory from text sections!

All ya gotta do is type "set trust-readonly"!
And if ya don't trust me (but who am I kidding,
EVERYBODY trusts a carny!), you can just type
"help set trust-readonly" and read all about it
yourself!

And this magic elixir is yours, my friend, for
not two dollars, not one dollar, but absolutely free!
