Re: command api question

["Kris Warkentin" <kewarken at qnx dot com>]

Well, maybe if there were a generic method to get/set variables in the
command api.  It's possible to do the following from the prompt:

(gdb) set solib-search-path /some/path
or
(gdb) show solib-search-path

so if there were an easy programmatic way of doing this, then we wouldn't
have to worry about compile time defines.

cheers,

Kris
