Subject: [PATCH 3/3] GDB: Add `info main' command
Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2023 17:07:17 +0100 (BST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.20.2303281646350.15477@tpp.orcam.me.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.DEB.2.20.2303281539110.15477@tpp.orcam.me.uk>

From: Richard Bunt <richard.bunt@linaro.org>

Allow consumers of GDB to extract the name of the main method.  This is
most useful for Fortran programs which have a variable main method.

Used by both MAP and DDT e.g. it is used to detect the presence of debug 
information.
