gdb scripting: execute commands at selected breakpoint

Question

I\'d like to predefine some breakpoints in a gdb script and to invoke some special commands at these breakpoints and afterwards to automatically continue the program executi

Answer 1

You should take a look at the command command, which enables you to add gdb commands as a breakpoint is hit. See the breakpoint command list section of the gdb manual.

For example:

break someFunction
commands
print var1
end

will, when the breakpoint on someFunction is hit, automatically print var1.
