<pre class="smallexample"> -enable-frame-filters

</pre>
|
|
<p><span class="sc">gdb</span> allows Python-based frame filters to affect the output of

|
the MI commands relating to stack traces. As there is no way to

implement this in a fully backward-compatible way, a front end must

|
request that this functionality be enabled.
|
|
|
|
<p>Once enabled, this feature cannot be disabled.

<p>Note that if Python support has not been compiled into <span class="sc">gdb</span>,

|
<p>Display the names of local variables and function arguments for the selected frame. If
|
|
<var>print-values</var> is 0 or <code>--no-values</code>, print only the names of
|
|
the variables; if it is 1 or <code>--all-values</code>, print also their
|
|
values; and if it is 2 or <code>--simple-values</code>, print the name,
|
|
type and value for simple data types, and the name and type for arrays,
|
|
structures and unions. If the option <code>--no-frame-filters</code> is
|
|
supplied, then Python frame filters will not be executed.
|
|
|
|
<p>If the <code>--skip-unavailable</code> option is specified, local variables
|
|
and arguments that are not available are not listed. Partially
|
|
available arguments and local variables are still displayed, however.
