Subject: Problem setting a breakpoint with command in gdbinit
Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2022 16:01:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <DM8PR16MB4357DF0A8678CD04B01BD323C7279@DM8PR16MB4357.namprd16.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

Greetings,

I try to set a silent breakpoint with commands via .gdbinit like this:


define breakXOpenDisplayRun
set pagination off
break XOpenDisplay
commands
  silent
  info locals
  bt full
  cont
end
run
end

Then I call my application like this:


gdb -q -ex breakXOpenDisplayRun ./myapp

The breakpoint is set and the application starts. However, when it encounters the breakpoint the first time it doesn't execute the command silently but stops there. Entering "continue" will continue with debugging and after that point it works.
If I start up GDB manually, then execute breakXOpenDisplayRun and run manually everything works fine.

What can I do?

GDB Version is 8.1.0.20180409-git for Ubuntu Linux 18.04   AMD64.

Regards
