<span class="sc">gdb</span> provides two mechanisms for automatically loading extensions
|
||
|
|
when a new object file is read (for example, due to the <code>file</code>
|
||
|
|
command, or because the inferior has loaded a shared library):
|
||
|
|
<samp><var>objfile</var><span class="file">-gdb.</span><var>ext</var></samp> and the <code>.debug_gdb_scripts</code>
|
||
|
|
section of modern file formats like ELF.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul class="menu">
|
||
|
|
<li><a accesskey="1" href="objfile_002dgdbdotext-file.html#objfile_002dgdbdotext-file">objfile-gdb.ext file</a>: The <samp><var>objfile</var><span class="file">-gdb.</span><var>ext</var></samp> file
|

|
|
<li><a accesskey="2" href="dotdebug_005fgdb_005fscripts-section.html#dotdebug_005fgdb_005fscripts-section">.debug_gdb_scripts section</a>: The <code>.debug_gdb_scripts</code> section

<li><a accesskey="3" href="Which-flavor-to-choose_003f.html#Which-flavor-to-choose_003f">Which flavor to choose?</a>
|

</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The auto-loading feature is useful for supplying application-specific
|
||
|
|
debugging commands and features.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Auto-loading can be enabled or disabled,
|
||
|
|
and the list of auto-loaded scripts can be printed.
|
||
|
|
See the ‘<samp><span class="samp">auto-loading</span></samp>’ section of each extension language
|
||
|
|
for more information.
