+ plugin.<br />
+ For example:
+ <pre>
+ (gdb) compile code int i; for (i = 0; i < 3; ++i) printf ("#%d\n", i)
+ #0
+ #1
+ #2
+ </pre>
+ A user can compile a code snippet and it will be inserted into the inferior
+ and evaluated. Declarations needed by the snippet are supplied by GDB, and
+ there is a GDB--GCC interface so that the snippets can refer to local
+ variables in the current inferior frame.
