If your program uses lots of shared libraries with debug info that
|
||||||
|
takes large amounts of memory, you can decrease the @value{GDBN}
|
||||||
|
memory footprint by preventing it from automatically loading the
|
||||||
|
symbols from shared libraries. To that end, type @kbd{set
|
||||||
|
auto-solib-add off} before running the inferior, then load each
|
||||||
|
library whose debug symbols you do need with @kbd{sharedlibrary
|
||||||
|
@var{regexp}}, where @var{regexp} is a regular expresion that matches
|
||||||
|
the libraries whose symbols you want to be loaded.
