GDB scripts
Hello,
While debugging a bunch of things, I felt the need for a few gdb scripts to print out the data structures that we would use regularly. I was thinking of creating a common gdb script which would contain different functions. This could reside in "libs/util" since we do not have a “tools" directory.
The developer would then just source the common script.
All suggestions are welcome.
Regards,
Vipul Rahane

I think having a gdbscript or scripts is an excellent idea but I dont think I would put them in libs/util. I dont like saying that without offering an alternative… but I just did :-)

Some gdb scripts are sorely needed, and I think that is a great idea. I
wrote some small gdb macros ("functions"?) for inspecting mbufs; if you
create one or more gdb scripts, I'll follow your lead and add mine.
