Re: [cdt-dev] Why is .gdbinit specified explicitly?
Oh, I see. I somehow misinterpreted "command file" as "command line". Thanks for pointing it out.

I'm not sure what you mean by GDB command-line.  We launch GDB with 'gdb --nx'.  We then specify the gdbinit file to be used, by using an MI command.  '.gdbinit' is used because it is specified in the launch configuration.

The idea was to allow people extending DSF-GDB to easily override any configuration that was being done by default.


Best regards,

Marc

Subject: Re: [cdt-dev] Why is .gdbinit specified explicitly?
A desire to support different init files in different configurations doesn't seem to be relevant to the choice of the default gdb command line.

I assume it's for scenarios like having different init files in different debug configurations.

This only makes it more mysterious. Why pass .gdbinit after --nx on the command line? What purpose does it achieve?

There's this comment in GDBBackend:197 (my line number might be slightly off), don't know if you've seen it:

// Don't read the gdbinit file here.  It is read explicitly in

// the LaunchSequence to make it easier to customize.

gdbCommandLine.append(" --nx"); //$NON-NLS-1$

Does anybody know why DSF GDB default for GDB command line is ".gdbint"? Doesn't GDB load .gdbinit anyway, even when it is not specified on the command line?
