Startup Scripts and Duplicates in the History

Startup Scripts and Duplicates in the History

[Alexander von Below]

Hello List,

maybe I did not google hard enough, but I could not find an answer to  
the following, hopefully trivial question:

1) I would like to "optimize" my workflow, and have a script executed  
everytime I start gdb from a certain directory, or in a certain way.  
Namely, what the script should do is:

add-symbol-file com.my.driver.sym  (gdb also always wants to confirm  
this, can I disable this confirmation?)
target remote-kdp

2) Is there a way to not add duplicates to the gdb history? Every  
"next" or "cont" is recorded, which seems unnecessary. My usual  
debugging session involves setting some breakpoints, a lot of next  
and cont, and print. And I would like to quickly step over the  
"next"s to recall the break point settings in the next session


Thanks for you help

Alex

  Check the manual, "Command Files" section.  You just put a .gdbinit in the
certain directory.

  I don't know about this one, sorry.

Instead of typing "next" over and over, simply hit 'enter'. That will
repeat the last command without entering another 'next' into the history.
