Hi, everyone.

I exported one variable in  $HOME/.bashrc.
export mygit="$HOME/git"

But I can't use in gdb.

(gdb) cd $mygit
$mygit: No such file or directory.

Is it possible to use it in gdb ?

Best Regards,
  robert

Not without some difficulty.

You could probably do it by writing some kind of "eval" command in Python.
"eval" itself was discussed on the patches list for a while; I don't
remember what happened to it.
