is there a way to do indirection of evaluating statements ? in other words, is there an equivalent of the shell "eval" command ? so something like: (gdb) set $cmd = "set $a 1" (gdb) eval $cmd (gdb) print $a $a = 1 can you do default values with functions ? so instead of checking $argc all the time and setting up the values by hand, a simple syntax for populating args with default values. so this verbose block: define myfunc # myfunc address, [count], [inc] if $argc == 1 set $count 10 else set $count $arg1 end if $argc == 2 set $inc 1 else set $inc $arg2 end set $i = 0 while $i < $count printf "addr = %X\n", ($arg0 + $i) set $i += $inc end end would become: define myfunc $arg1=10 $arg2=1 set $i = 0 while $i < $count printf "addr = %X\n", ($arg0 + $i) set $i += $inc end end can you change the default "error" message on invalid number of arguments to do the help ? i do something like define useful if $argc != 2 help useful else [do stuff here] end end document useful Usage: useful <arg1> <arg2> The useful command is useful as it does things with <arg1> and <arg2>. end is there a way to hook into the repeat-on-return functionality ? gdb allows you to control the repeat-on-return behavior via the "dont-repeat" command, but there doesnt seem to be a way to detect whether the define is being executed because it was called explicitly or the user is just hitting the return key ... so i'd like to be able to do: define moo if $user_hit_return set $_last_moo += 10 else set $_last_moo = $arg0 end printf "ARG0 = %x\n", $_last_moo end then i'd get the output: (gdb) moo 5 ARG0 = 5 (gdb) ARG0 = 15 (gdb) ARG0 = 25 -mike
