Subject: [PATCH] Minor fixes to .gdbinit
Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2018 09:51:54 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180210165154.22393-1-tom@tromey.com> (raw)

I noticed a couple of small problems in .gdbinit while debugging Emacs
recently.

First, "xcompiled" doesn't emit a trailing newline.

Second, in some cases, when gdb uses Python 2, casting a pointer to a
Python 'int' will fail.  The solution is to cast to 'long' instead --
but because Python 3 does not have 'long', this requires a small
compatibility shim.

This patch fixes both of these problems.  Let me know what you think.

* src/.gdbinit (xcompiled): Emit a final newline.
(python): Define "long" if not already defined.  Use casts to long,
not int.
