* New command options, command completion
|
||||
|
||||
GDB now has a standard infrastructure to support dash-style command
|
||||
options ('-OPT'). One benefit is that commands that use it can
|
||||
easily support completion of command line arguments. Try "CMD
|
||||
-[TAB]" or "help CMD" to find options supported by a command. Over
|
||||
time, we intend to migrate most commands to this infrastructure. A
|
||||
number of commands got support for new command options in this
|
||||
release:
|
||||
|
||||
** The "print" and "compile print" commands now support a number of
|
||||
options that allow overriding relevant global print settings as
|
||||
set by "set print" subcommands:
|
||||
|
||||
-address [on|off]
|
||||
-array [on|off]
|
||||
-array-indexes [on|off]
|
||||
-elements NUMBER|unlimited
|
||||
-null-stop [on|off]
|
||||
-object [on|off]
|
||||
-pretty [on|off]
|
||||
-repeats NUMBER|unlimited
|
||||
-static-members [on|off]
|
||||
-symbol [on|off]
|
||||
-union [on|off]
|
||||
-vtbl [on|off]
|
||||
|
||||
Note that because the "print"/"compile print" commands accept
|
||||
arbitrary expressions which may look like options (including
|
||||
abbreviations), if you specify any command option, then you must
|
||||
use a double dash ("--") to mark the end of argument processing.
|
||||
|
||||
** The "backtrace" command now supports a number of options that
|
||||
allow overriding relevant global print settings as set by "set
|
||||
backtrace" and "set print" subcommands:
|
||||
|
||||
-entry-values no|only|preferred|if-needed|both|compact|default
|
||||
-frame-arguments all|scalars|none
|
||||
-raw-frame-arguments [on|off]
|
||||
-past-main [on|off]
|
||||
-past-entry [on|off]
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, the full/no-filters/hide qualifiers are now also
|
||||
exposed as command options too:
|
||||
|
||||
-full
|
||||
-no-filters
|
||||
-hide
|
||||
|
||||
** The "frame apply", "tfaas" and "faas" commands similarly now
|
||||
support the following options:
|
||||
|
||||
-past-main [on|off]
|
||||
-past-entry [on|off]
|
||||
|
||||
All options above can also be abbreviated. The argument of boolean
|
||||
(on/off) options can be 0/1 too, and also the argument is assumed
|
||||
"on" if omitted. This allows writing compact command invocations,
|
||||
like for example:
|
||||
|
||||
(gdb) p -r -p -o 0 -- *myptr
|
||||
|
||||
The above is equivalent to:
|
||||
|
||||
(gdb) print -raw -pretty -object off -- *myptr
|
||||
|
||||
* Completion improvements
|
||||
|
||||
** GDB can now complete the options of the "thread apply all" and
|
||||
"taas" commands, and their "-ascending" option can now be
|
||||
abbreviated.
|
||||
|
||||
** GDB can now complete the options of the "compile file" and
|
||||
"compile code" commands. The "compile file" command now
|
||||
completes on filenames.
|
||||
|
||||
** GDB can now complete the backtrace command's
|
||||
"full/no-filters/hide" qualifiers.
|
||||
|
||||
* In settings, you can now abbreviate "unlimited".
|
||||
|
||||
E.g., "set print elements u" is now equivalent to "set print
|
||||
elements unlimited".

@section Command options

|

@cindex command options
|
||||
Some commands accept options starting with a leading dash. For
|
||||
example, @code{print -pretty}. Similarly to command names, you can
|
||||
abbreviate a @value{GDBN} option to the first few letters of the
|
||||
option name, if that abbreviation is unambiguous, and you can also use
|
||||
the @key{TAB} key to get @value{GDBN} to fill out the rest of a word
|
||||
in an option (or to show you the alternatives available, if there is
|
||||
more than one possibility).
|
||||
|
||||
@cindex command options, raw input
|
||||
Some commands take raw input as argument. For example, the print
|
||||
command processes arbitrary expressions in any of the languages
|
||||
supported by @value{GDBN}. With such commands, because raw input may
|
||||
start with a leading dash that would be confused with an option or any
|
||||
of its abbreviations, e.g.@: @code{print -r} (short for @code{print
|
||||
-raw} or printing negative @code{r}?), if you specify any command
|
||||
option, then you must use a double-dash (@code{--}) delimiter to
|
||||
indicate the end of options.
|
||||
|
||||
@cindex command options, boolean
|
||||
|
||||
Some options are described as accepting an argument which can be
|
||||
either @code{on} or @code{off}. These are known as @dfn{boolean
|
||||
options}. Similarly to boolean settings commands---@code{on} and
|
||||
@code{off} are the typical values, but any of @code{1}, @code{yes} and
|
||||
@code{enable} can also be used as ``true'' value, and any of @code{0},
|
||||
@code{no} and @code{disable} can also be used as ``false'' value. You
|
||||
can also omit a ``true'' value, as it is implied by default.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, these are equivalent:
|
||||
|
||||
@smallexample
|
||||
(@value{GDBP}) print -object on -pretty off -element unlimited -- *myptr
|
||||
(@value{GDBP}) p -o -p 0 -e u -- *myptr
|
||||
@end smallexample
|
||||
|
||||
You can discover the set of options some command accepts by completing
|
||||
on @code{-} after the command name. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
@smallexample
|
||||
(@value{GDBP}) print -@key{TAB}@key{TAB}
|
||||
-address -max-depth -repeats -vtbl
|
||||
-array -null-stop -static-members
|
||||
-array-indexes -object -symbol
|
||||
-elements -pretty -union
|
||||
@end smallexample
|
||||
|
||||
Completion will in some cases guide you with a suggestion of what kind
|
||||
of argument an option expects. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
@smallexample
|
||||
(@value{GDBP}) print -elements @key{TAB}@key{TAB}
|
||||
NUMBER unlimited
|
||||
@end smallexample
|
||||
|
||||
Here, the option expects a number (e.g., @code{100}), not literal
|
||||
@code{NUMBER}. Such metasyntactical arguments are always presented in
|
||||
uppercase.

Because the @code{print} command accepts arbitrary expressions which
|
||||
may look like options (including abbreviations), if you specify any
|
||||
command option, then you must use a double dash (@code{--}) to mark
|
||||
the end of option processing.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, this prints the value of the @code{-r} expression:
|
||||
|
||||
@smallexample
|
||||
(@value{GDBP}) print -r
|
||||
@end smallexample
|
||||
|
||||
While this repeats the last value in the value history (see below)
|
||||
with the @code{-raw} option in effect:
|
||||
|
||||
@smallexample
|
||||
(@value{GDBP}) print -r --
|
||||
@end smallexample
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example including both on option and an expression:
|
||||
|
||||
@smallexample
|
||||
@group
|
||||
(@value{GDBP}) print -pretty -- *myptr
