Bug ID: 18686
Summary: better support for separate debug files
Product: gdb
Version: unknown
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: symtab
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: dje at google dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Every now and then I need data which gdb has but I can't get at.
An example is separate debug files.
We should have a way to list separate debug files (not as maint commands, but
as real commands, I'm asking this from a user's perspective).
I don't have a strong opinion on how, but including it with "info shared" is
one way, modulo that won't include the executable.
"info objfiles" is one thought.
Second, we should have a way to add a separate debug file after the fact.
There is add-symbol-file, but it's not the same, *and* it requires a load
address. Bleah, as a user I don't want to have to compute the load address, and
some users get confused about what address to provide.
We should have a way to say "use this file as a separate debug file for this
objfile" (and a way to remove it too).
