Re: A question about gdb script

1. If I want get the gdb_record.xxx file of each record cycle.  It's
still hard to me.  Because if I add "record save" to commands, each
time it will save record entry to same file.
Does gdb have some way to handle it? like:
$a=1
record save $a
$a++

If you look at cmd_record_save, you see it has (char *args). GDB will pass "$a" as "args", so at that point you have the opportunity to say, eg. "if (args[0] == '$') then do something".

One possibility would be to create your default name, eg.
gdb_record.12345, and then append $a making gdb_record.12345.1

That's the quick and dirty way.  Something more elegant might
be better.

2.  Sometime, I want just record a function, I want:
b functon_name
commands
silent
record
finish
#Maybe we can record save in this line, this is first question.
record stop
end
But when I really do it.  I found that gdb stop running after finish.

That is unfortunately a long-standing gdb "limitation" (I mean , known bug). It is so old that it is not likely to be fixed soon.
