How to check if .gdbinit macros have been loaded?

[Mahmood Naderan <nt_mahmood@yahoo.com>]

Hi

I use a .gdbinit [1] file which is supposed to print some debug information when the program is being run. 
When I run GDB, the first printf is written on the screen. So, that means the .gdbinit file has been loaded.
However, I don't see the rest of the information that must be printed on the screen. There are a lot of printf for this purpose.


How can I be sure that the rest of the macros are called? Maybe they hit errors and I am not able to see those errors.

As you can see the "debugging macro" message shows that the .gdbinit file has been loaded.


Any idea about that?
