Hi Joel,
--with-system-gdbinit is used to enable something like for example Fedora uses
/etc/gdbinit. But this provides only a single init file which is a problem
for various optionally installed packages each needing to install its own
system-wide gdb init file (such as older versions of the gdb-heap package).
Unfortunately GDB does not support wildcards for the "source" command for:
/etc/gdbinit:
source /etc/gdbinit.d/*
which is why only a single file is possible that way.
But I do not see this problem solved in your patch, how do you execute those
files?
Besides that I find such files more as configuration files where read-only
$(GDB_DATADIR) is not a suitable location.
But maybe we both talk about two unrelated features.
Regards,
Jan
