| <h3 class="section">27.17 <span class="sc">gdb/mi</span> File Commands</h3> |
| |
| <p>This section describes the GDB/MI commands to specify executable file names |
| and to read in and obtain symbol table information. |
| |
| <h4 class="subheading">The <code>-file-exec-and-symbols</code> Command</h4> |
| |
| <p><a name="index-g_t_002dfile_002dexec_002dand_002dsymbols-2106"></a> |
| |
| <h5 class="subsubheading">Synopsis</h5> |
| |
| <pre class="smallexample"> -file-exec-and-symbols <var>file</var> |
| </pre> |
| <p>Specify the executable file to be debugged. This file is the one from |
| which the symbol table is also read. If no file is specified, the |
| command clears the executable and symbol information. If breakpoints |
| are set when using this command with no arguments, <span class="sc">gdb</span> will produce |
| error messages. Otherwise, no output is produced, except a completion |
| notification. |
| |
| <h5 class="subsubheading"><span class="sc">gdb</span> Command</h5> |
| |
| <p>The corresponding <span class="sc">gdb</span> command is ‘<samp><span class="samp">file</span></samp>’. |
| |
| <h5 class="subsubheading">Example</h5> |
| |
| <pre class="smallexample"> (gdb) |
| -file-exec-and-symbols /kwikemart/marge/ezannoni/TRUNK/mbx/hello.mbx |
| ^done |
| (gdb) |
| </pre> |
| <h4 class="subheading">The <code>-file-exec-file</code> Command</h4> |
| |
| <p><a name="index-g_t_002dfile_002dexec_002dfile-2107"></a> |
| |
| <h5 class="subsubheading">Synopsis</h5> |
| |
| <pre class="smallexample"> -file-exec-file <var>file</var> |
| </pre> |
| <p>Specify the executable file to be debugged. Unlike |
| ‘<samp><span class="samp">-file-exec-and-symbols</span></samp>’, the symbol table is <em>not</em> read |
| from this file. If used without argument, <span class="sc">gdb</span> clears the information |
| about the executable file. No output is produced, except a completion |
| notification. |
| |
| <h5 class="subsubheading"><span class="sc">gdb</span> Command</h5> |
| |
| <p>The corresponding <span class="sc">gdb</span> command is ‘<samp><span class="samp">exec-file</span></samp>’. |
| |
| <h5 class="subsubheading">Example</h5> |
| |
| <pre class="smallexample"> (gdb) |
| -file-exec-file /kwikemart/marge/ezannoni/TRUNK/mbx/hello.mbx |
| ^done |
| (gdb) |
| </pre> |
| <h4 class="subheading">The <code>-file-list-exec-source-file</code> Command</h4> |
| |
| <p><a name="index-g_t_002dfile_002dlist_002dexec_002dsource_002dfile-2108"></a> |
| |
| <h5 class="subsubheading">Synopsis</h5> |
| |
| <pre class="smallexample"> -file-list-exec-source-file |
| </pre> |
| <p>List the line number, the current source file, and the absolute path |
| to the current source file for the current executable. The macro |
| information field has a value of ‘<samp><span class="samp">1</span></samp>’ or ‘<samp><span class="samp">0</span></samp>’ depending on |
| whether or not the file includes preprocessor macro information. |
| |
| <h5 class="subsubheading"><span class="sc">gdb</span> Command</h5> |
| |
| <p>The <span class="sc">gdb</span> equivalent is ‘<samp><span class="samp">info source</span></samp>’ |
| |
| <h5 class="subsubheading">Example</h5> |
| |
| <pre class="smallexample"> (gdb) |
| 123-file-list-exec-source-file |
| 123^done,line="1",file="foo.c",fullname="/home/bar/foo.c,macro-info="1" |
| (gdb) |
| </pre> |
| <h4 class="subheading">The <code>-file-list-exec-source-files</code> Command</h4> |
| |
| <p><a name="index-g_t_002dfile_002dlist_002dexec_002dsource_002dfiles-2109"></a> |
| |
| <h5 class="subsubheading">Synopsis</h5> |
| |
| <pre class="smallexample"> -file-list-exec-source-files |
| </pre> |
| <p>List the source files for the current executable. |
| |
| <p>It will always output the filename, but only when <span class="sc">gdb</span> can find |
| the absolute file name of a source file, will it output the fullname. |
| |
| <h5 class="subsubheading"><span class="sc">gdb</span> Command</h5> |
| |
| <p>The <span class="sc">gdb</span> equivalent is ‘<samp><span class="samp">info sources</span></samp>’. |
| <code>gdbtk</code> has an analogous command ‘<samp><span class="samp">gdb_listfiles</span></samp>’. |
| |
| <h5 class="subsubheading">Example</h5> |
| |
| <pre class="smallexample"> (gdb) |
| -file-list-exec-source-files |
| ^done,files=[ |
| {file=foo.c,fullname=/home/foo.c}, |
| {file=/home/bar.c,fullname=/home/bar.c}, |
| {file=gdb_could_not_find_fullpath.c}] |
| (gdb) |
| </pre> |
| <h4 class="subheading">The <code>-file-symbol-file</code> Command</h4> |
| |
| <p><a name="index-g_t_002dfile_002dsymbol_002dfile-2110"></a> |
| |
| <h5 class="subsubheading">Synopsis</h5> |
| |
| <pre class="smallexample"> -file-symbol-file <var>file</var> |
| </pre> |
| <p>Read symbol table info from the specified <var>file</var> argument. When |
| used without arguments, clears <span class="sc">gdb</span>'s symbol table info. No output is |
| produced, except for a completion notification. |
| |
| <h5 class="subsubheading"><span class="sc">gdb</span> Command</h5> |
| |
| <p>The corresponding <span class="sc">gdb</span> command is ‘<samp><span class="samp">symbol-file</span></samp>’. |
| |
| <h5 class="subsubheading">Example</h5> |
| |
| <pre class="smallexample"> (gdb) |
| -file-symbol-file /kwikemart/marge/ezannoni/TRUNK/mbx/hello.mbx |
| ^done |
| (gdb) |
