Hello all,

I think we need a good location for gdb command files (containing
macros).

I propose:
@apache-mynewt-core/compiler/gdbmacros/

Thoughts?

Thanks,

I think having a gdbscript or scripts is an excellent idea but I dont think I 
would put them in libs/util. I dont like saying that without offering an 
alternative… but I just did :-)

Some gdb scripts are sorely needed, and I think that is a great idea.  I
wrote some small gdb macros ("functions"?) for inspecting mbufs; if you
create one or more gdb scripts, I'll follow your lead and add mine.

GDB scripts

[Vipul Rahane]

Hello,

While debugging a bunch of things, I felt the need for a few gdb scripts to 
print out the data structures that we would use regularly. I was thinking of 
creating a common gdb script which would contain different functions. This 
could reside in "libs/util" since we do not have a “tools" directory.

The developer would then just source the common script.

All suggestions are welcome.

Regards,
Vipul Rahane
