Hello, all. Looking though archives I found old script by Lubomir Rintel for gdb. I integrated it into our build system and committed, now you just have to run gdb -x gdb_grub from grub-core directory. It's limited to platforms with predefined load address, so *-efi is excluded but all others platforms should work, didn't test it with anything else than i386-pc though. At first I wanted to install it as well but then I noticed that it has an important problem: - It uses insecure temporary files. While fine if you own current directory (like grub-core), it has to use mktemp if to be installed globally. - I don't know how to implement the logic "check if kernel.exec is in ., if so use it, otherwise use @platformdir@/kernel.exec" in gdb scripts. Note: @platformdir@ is expanded by automake. Also I would prefer script to be less chatty and use python but it's not very important. I attach a simple patch to install those scripts if needed. Also there is a serial-gdb patch in same series, while also interesting it would need more work (and can be integrated with my another work for backtracing on grub_fatal and exceptions)
