             Bug #: 14479
           Summary: no way to request gdb to load separate debuginfo
           Product: gdb
           Version: unknown
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: symtab
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: tromey@redhat.com
    Classification: Unclassified


I was debugging a program.
gdb suggested I install some separate debuginfo packages
(I think this is a Fedora extension -- but it doesn't matter
since the problem here is generic).
I wanted one of these, so in a separate window I ran debuginfo-install.

At this point I wanted to tell gdb to try again to load the
separate debuginfo.  However, there's no convenient way to do this.
"sharedlibrary" doesn't work.
"add-symbol-file" might work but it is a pain.

I think the simplest would be to make "sharedlibrary" do it.
