I want some commands to be automatically executed each time the program stops, just like what display does with x. How do I do that?
Here's the easy way I found out:
define hook-stop
...commands to be executed when execution stops
end
Refer to this page for details: http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Hooks.html#Hooks
Another "new" way to do it is with the Python Event interface:
def stop_handler (event):
print "event type: stop"
gdb.events.stop.connect (stop_handler)
which will trigger the stop_handler
function each the the inferior stops.
There are two other similar events type:
events.cont
events.exited
respectively triggered when the inferior is continued or exists.
