Bug #: 14802
Summary: Declaring a convenience function using Python does not
work as documented
Product: gdb
Version: 7.4
Status: NEW
Severity: critical
Priority: P2
Component: python
AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: dholmster@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
I have tried to declare a convenience function as described in the
documentation [1] but I am unable to call the new function afterwards. This has
been tried using GDB 7.5 on Gentoo GNU/Linux as well as GDB 7.5 on MacOS X
(installed via Homebrew) with the same result.
Here is the result when running the example from the documentation:
(gdb) python
>import gdb
>class Greet(gdb.Function):
> def __init__(self):
> super(Greet, self).__init__('greet')
>
> def invoke(self, name):
> return 'Hello %s' % name.string()
>
>Greet ()
>end
(gdb) greet test
Undefined command: "greet". Try "help".
(gdb) greet
Undefined command: "greet". Try "help".
gdb.Command and gdb.Parameter both work as expected in the two GDB
installations that I tried gdb.Function in.
GDB 7.5 on OSX:
