|
||
|
|
<var>command</var> to one or more frames.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dl>
|

<dt><code>all</code><dd>Specify <code>all</code> to apply <var>command</var> to all frames.
|

<br><dt><var>count</var><dd>Use <var>count</var> to apply <var>command</var> to the innermost <var>count</var>

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><var>-count</var><dd>Use <var>-count</var> to apply <var>command</var> to the outermost <var>count</var>
|
||
|
|
frames, where <var>count</var> is a positive number.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><code>level</code><dd>Use <code>level</code> to apply <var>command</var> to the set of frames identified
|
||
|
|
by the <var>level</var> list. <var>level</var> is a frame level or a range of frame
|
||
|
|
levels as <var>level1</var>-<var>level2</var>. The frame level is the number shown
|
||
|
|
in the first field of the ‘<samp><span class="samp">backtrace</span></samp>’ command output.
|
||
|
|
E.g., ‘<samp><span class="samp">2-4 6-8 3</span></samp>’ indicates to apply <var>command</var> for the frames
|
||
|
|
at levels 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and then again on frame at level 3.
|
||
|
|
|
||

|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Note that the frames on which <code>frame apply</code> applies a command are
|
||
|
|
also influenced by the <code>set backtrace</code> settings such as <code>set
|
||
|
|
backtrace past-main</code> and <code>set backtrace limit N</code>. See
|
||
|
|
See <a href="Backtrace.html#Backtrace">Backtraces</a>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The <var>flag</var> arguments control what output to produce and how to handle
|
||
|
|
errors raised when applying <var>command</var> to a frame. <var>flag</var>
|
||
|
|
must start with a <code>-</code> directly followed by one letter in
|
||
|
|
<code>qcs</code>. If several flags are provided, they must be given
|
||
|
|
individually, such as <code>-c -q</code>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>By default, <span class="sc">gdb</span> displays some frame information before the
|
||
|
|
output produced by <var>command</var>, and an error raised during the
|
||
|
|
execution of a <var>command</var> will abort <code>frame apply</code>. The
|
||
|
|
following flags can be used to fine-tune this behavior:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dl>
|
||
|
|
<dt><code>-c</code><dd>The flag <code>-c</code>, which stands for ‘<samp><span class="samp">continue</span></samp>’, causes any
|
||
|
|
errors in <var>command</var> to be displayed, and the execution of
|
||
|
|
<code>frame apply</code> then continues.
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><code>-s</code><dd>The flag <code>-s</code>, which stands for ‘<samp><span class="samp">silent</span></samp>’, causes any errors
|
||
|
|
or empty output produced by a <var>command</var> to be silently ignored.
|
||
|
|
That is, the execution continues, but the frame information and errors
|
||
|
|
are not printed.
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><code>-q</code><dd>The flag <code>-q</code> (‘<samp><span class="samp">quiet</span></samp>’) disables printing the frame
|
||
|
|
information.
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The following example shows how the flags <code>-c</code> and <code>-s</code> are
|
||
|
|
working when applying the command <code>p j</code> to all frames, where
|
||
|
|
variable <code>j</code> can only be successfully printed in the outermost
|
||
|
|
<code>#1 main</code> frame.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> (gdb) frame apply all p j
|
||
|
|
#0 some_function (i=5) at fun.c:4
|
||
|
|
No symbol "j" in current context.
|
||
|
|
(gdb) frame apply all -c p j
|
||
|
|
#0 some_function (i=5) at fun.c:4
|
||
|
|
No symbol "j" in current context.

||

(gdb) frame apply all -s p j

|
||
|
|
$2 = 5
|
||
|
|
(gdb)
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>By default, ‘<samp><span class="samp">frame apply</span></samp>’, prints the frame location
|
||
|
|
information before the command output:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> (gdb) frame apply all p $sp
|
||
|
|
#0 some_function (i=5) at fun.c:4
|
||
|
|
$4 = (void *) 0xffffd1e0
|
||
|
|
#1 0x565555fb in main (argc=1, argv=0xffffd2c4) at fun.c:11
|
||
|
|
$5 = (void *) 0xffffd1f0
|
||
|
|
(gdb)
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>If flag <code>-q</code> is given, no frame information is printed:
|
||
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> (gdb) frame apply all -q p $sp
|
||
|
|
$12 = (void *) 0xffffd1e0
|
