DEBUGDIR is C #define in config.h, it is internal to GDB, GDB user never faces
$DEBUGDIR.

$debugdir is substituted by GDB and $debugdir is documented in GDB Manual.

Hi jan,
we are setting the auto-load directory with $debugdir
But  $debugdir has nothing value
So auto-load safe-path does not set to the debug directory
So we should change the name


Thanks
Bilal

GDB Manual:
Any used string `$debugdir' will get replaced by DEBUG-FILE-DIRECTORY value
(*note Separate Debug Files::)
[...]
   Global debugging info directories default to what is set by GDB
configure option `--with-separate-debug-dir'.  During GDB run you can
also set the global debugging info directories, and view the list GDB
is currently using.

`set debug-file-directory DIRECTORIES'
     Set the directories which GDB searches for separate debugging
     information files to DIRECTORY.  Multiple path components can be
     set concatenating them by a path separator.

(In reply to comment #3)
> Hi jan,

How do you set it?  By `set debug-file-directory DIRECTORIES' or by
--with-separate-debug-dir=DIR?

> But  $debugdir has nothing value

How do you display the $debugdir value?

(gdb) show debug-file-directory 
The directory where separate debug symbols are searched for is
"/usr/lib/debug".


> So auto-load safe-path does not set to the debug directory
> So we should change the name

Which name should be changed?  It just works as it is configured on Fedora.

Hi jan,

> How do you display the $debugdir value?

If we changed the $debugdir with ----> ${debugdir} in configure file
now reconfigure gdb and make install 
then if we give the (gdb)show auto-load
gdb show

safe-path:  List of directories from which it is safe to auto-load files is
:$datadir/auto-load.

and if changed $debugdir with ---> ${DEBUGDIR} in configure file 


now reconfigure gdb and make install 
then if we apply the command 
(gdb)show auto-load
gdb show

safe-path:  List of directories from which it is safe to auto-load files is 
${prefix}/lib/debug:$datadir/auto-load.


Thanks
Bilal

Why have you changed the source (configure file)?  It works without changing
GDB sources.  Changed GDB is your problem, this Bugzilla is for FSF unchanged
GDB.

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
./gdb/gdb
(gdb) show auto-load safe-path 
List of directories from which it is safe to auto-load files is
$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load.
(gdb) show debug-file-directory 
The directory where separate debug symbols are searched for is
"/usr/lib/debug".
(gdb) show data-directory 
GDB's data directory is "/usr/share/gdb".

What problem do you have with this behavior of FSF GDB?

BTW you can use
  ./configure --without-auto-load-safe-path
if you do not need the security restriction on your system.
