GDB scripting much more powerful than the restricted CLI
scripting language. If your host does not have Python installed,
you can find it on `http://www.python.org/download/'. The oldest
version of Python supported by GDB is 2.4. The optional argument
version of Python supported by GDB is 2.6. The optional argument
PYTHON is used to find the Python headers and libraries. It can
be either the name of a Python executable, or the name of the

When printing source code, use source highlighting. This requires

Configure GDB to automatically load system-wide init files from

support is enabled) and `.scm' (if Guile support is enabled) are
supported. DIR should be an absolute directory name. If DIR is

another location after being built, the location of the system-
wide init directory will be adjusted accordingly.

When building the GDB sources, ask the compiler to warn about any
code which looks even vaguely suspicious. It passes many
