             Bug #: 14051
           Summary: auto-load denied messages need to limit themselves
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: symtab
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: dje@google.com
    Classification: Unclassified


I'm seeing a seemingly endless repetition of messages like:

warning: File "/foo/bar/baz.y" auto-loading has been declined by your `auto\
-load safe-path' set to ".:/usr".

These are from scripts mentioned in shared library's .debug_gdb_scripts
section, and there are 1000s of shared libraries.

These messages should rate-limit themselves.
[And GDB should have a general utility API for supporting this.
The complaints mechanism could use this too.]

I'd say track each file, and only print one message for each file.
