| gdb Support for Python |
| ====================== |
| |
| gdb 7 and later |
| --------------- |
| In gdb 7, support for extending gdb with Python was added. When CPython is |
| built you will notice a python-gdb.py file in the root directory of your |
| checkout. Read the module docstring for details on how to use the file to |
| enhance gdb for easier debugging of a CPython process. |
| |
| |
| gdb 6 and earlier |
| ----------------- |
| The file at ``Misc/gdbinit`` contains a gdb configuration file which provides |
| extra commands when working with a CPython process. To use the file, either |
| copy the commands to your personal gdb configuration file or symlink |
| ``~/.gdbinit`` to ``Misc/gdbinit``. |
