[PATCH v2 5/7] Add early startup command file

Tom Tromey tom@tromey.com
Tue Jun 23 13:20:04 GMT 2020


This adds support for a gdb command file to be read early in startup.
Code that wants to save an early setting can register a callback to be
called to write to this file.  This code is not yet used, but will be
in subsequent patches.

2020-06-22  Tom Tromey  <tom@tromey.com>

	* main.c (captured_main_1): Call read_startup_file.
	* cli/cli-setshow.h (write_startup_functions, add_startup_writer)
	(read_startup_file): Declare.
	(write_startup_setting_ftype): New typedef.
	* cli/cli-setshow.c (STARTUP_FILE): New define.
	(write_startup_functions, startup_file_read): New globals.
	(write_startup_file, add_startup_writer, read_startup_file): New
	functions.
