- Subject: [patch#2 6/6] Warn (but execute) local .gdbinit by default
Hi,
this patch could go in producing for 7.5:
$ ./gdb
warning: Reading file .gdbinit in current directory but it has been deprecated and the reading will be removed. Use script associated with inferior executable
file instead. See also 'set auto-load local-gdbinit'. You may also use 'gdb -x .gdbinit ...'.
and in a GDB release or two releases later it gets turned into "warn-and-no":
$ ./gdb
warning: Ignoring file .gdbinit in current directory as it has been deprecated. Use script associated with inferior executable file instead. See also 'set
auto-load local-gdbinit'. You may also use 'gdb -x .gdbinit ...'.
While at least in Fedora I would turn it to "warn-and-no" already (probably
only since F-18, though) as it is considered as a valid security issue.
Thanks,
Jan
