How to access environment variables inside .gdbinit and inside gdb itself?

Question

I am looking to set up the path for the source code when debugging with gdb. I chose to do that with a .gdbinit file.

Basically, it contains a command:

d         


        

Answer 1

Nevermind, I found how to do it by using Python scripting.

My .gdbinit file is now:

python
import os
gdb.execute('directory' + os.environ['SOURCES'] + '/package_name/src')
end

show directories
