To speed up file loading, and reduce memory usage, <span class="sc">gdb</span> will
|
|
reuse the <code>bfd</code> objects used to track open files. See <a href="../bfd/index.html#Top">BFD</a>. The following commands
|
|
allow visibility and control of the caching behavior.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="index-maint-info-bfds-1267"></a>
|
|
<dl><dt><code>maint info bfds</code><dd>This prints information about each <code>bfd</code> object that is known to
|
|
<span class="sc">gdb</span>.
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="index-maint-set-bfd_002dsharing-1268"></a><a name="index-maint-show-bfd_002dsharing-1269"></a><a name="index-bfd-caching-1270"></a><br><dt><code>maint set bfd-sharing</code><br><dt><code>maint show bfd-sharing</code><dd>Control whether <code>bfd</code> objects can be shared. When sharing is
|
|
enabled <span class="sc">gdb</span> reuses already open <code>bfd</code> objects rather
|
|
than reopening the same file. Turning sharing off does not cause
|
|
already shared <code>bfd</code> objects to be unshared, but all future files
|
|
that are opened will create a new <code>bfd</code> object. Similarly,
|
|
re-enabling sharing does not cause multiple existing <code>bfd</code>
|
|
objects to be collapsed into a single shared <code>bfd</code> object.
