Re: RFC: Syntax for logging



Hmm, two options: set logging

Not this. It should behave like:


(gdb) set architecture
"set architecture" must be followed by "auto" or an architecture name.

unset logging

I like "unset logging"; how about you?  The only thing we use unset for
at the moment is "unset environment" but I think it extends naturally.

so (slightly wierd) yes this. Be sure to mention it in the help message. Perhaphs, also accept ``set logging off'', and ``set logging on'' as those are the first things I'd try :-)


Hmm, just noticed, the options are optional, I was thinking that they were required.

set logging [redirect|log] [append|overwrite] FILE

The syntax will lead to confusion with things like:

	set logging l
or
	set logging redirect a

suggest instead:

set logging on [FILE]
	default gdb.log, log, append?
set logging off
set logging file FILE
set logging append {true,false}
set logging redirect {true,false}

so that the [FILE] isn't context dependent. Realisticly, I think people will only use:

	set logging on
	set logging off
