- Subject: set prompt-escape-character
More -Wformat-nonliteral suprizes. In trying to understand the "top.c"
warnings from:
/* FIXME: how to protect GDB from crashing
from bad user-supplied format string? */
sprintf (outp, fmt[0] == 0 ? default_fmt : fmt,
tmp);
I discovered a new feature:
(top-gdb) set prompt-escape-char 0x25
(top-gdb) set prompt PC=0x%0x%$pc
PC=0x1802f68
Perhaps it could be change do use the printf code vis:
set prompt "0x%x ", $pc
Anyway, Michael, was there any doco on this? I can't find anything.
