Dave Malcolm added the comment: In my Fedora Python packages I've been applying this patch: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/python.git/plain/00156-gdb-autoload-safepath.patch
which uses this code fragment to detect if gdb has the autoload safe path code, rather than trying to guess it from version numbers (which I *think* is failing for Stefan due to a backport of the autoload stuff in that gdb): def gdb_has_autoload_safepath(): # Recent GDBs will only auto-load scripts from certain safe # locations, so we will need to turn off this protection. # However, if the GDB doesn't have it, then the following # command will generate noise on stderr (rhbz#817072): cmd = "--eval-command=set auto-load safe-path /" p = subprocess.Popen(["gdb", "--batch", cmd], stderr=subprocess.PIPE) _, stderr = p.communicate() return '"on" or "off" expected.' not in stderr HAS_AUTOLOAD_SAFEPATH = gdb_has_autoload_safepath() (etc) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15043> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
