From 3a586d2f0bb0cf9c1c7a53f7a183de199c93d0ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Hajnoczi Date: Wed, 17 May 2017 13:40:42 +0100 Subject: .gdbinit: load QEMU sub-commands when gdb starts MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The scripts/qemu-gdb.py file is not easily discoverable. Add a .gdbinit file so GDB either loads qemu-gdb.py automatically or prints a message informing the user how to enable them (some systems disable ./.gdbinit loading for security reasons). Symlink .gdbinit and the scripts directory in order to make out-of-tree builds work. The scripts directory is used to find the qemu-gdb.py file specified by a relative path in .gdbinit.
