Running script from Debugger

Post by yllawwally »

Hello,
How can I run a python script when a breakpoint is reached? On the breakpoint windows, there is a command list box. This seems where I should be able to run a script. If that is the correct place, what is it expecting there? Also it seems sometimes breakpoints will get erased, is there a common reason this might be happening. Thanks for any assistance.

I'm using codelite version 12.0.4
Ubuntu 18.0.4
gdb 8.1

Hi,

Yes, that's the place. As you can see from it's tooltip, you add the commands you want to be run: e.g.
print foo
cont

I've not tried running a python script. I suggest you test things direct with gdb in a terminal, then use whatever works there.
Also it seems sometimes breakpoints will get erased, is there a common reason this might be happening.
Yes, it's always happened :( . However it's so random and intermittent that I've not found a cause.

Regards,

David
