Well, you can currently save the breakpoints, doesn't that help any? Of
course you have to restore your breakpoints but... I have another idea: one
of the things that annoys me most when debugging Tcl-based apps (i'm doing a
lot of this, have you noticed?) is the use of shared libs. If I set a
breakpoint when I run a program, that breakpoint disappears and cannot be
reset when the app is restarted, because gdb doesn't know where to find the
symbol (since it's not loaded yet). Is it possible to set a breakpoint in a
function and have gdb notice when that  function is loaded up? In other
words, set some unexisting breakpoints that *will* exist at some time during
program execution, wwithout having to interrupt the process that is being
debugged. It's one of the features of a Tcl script debugger I'm using and I
find it very handy. But then, Tcl is a whole 'nother beast.
