Bug 1625614 - Use un-prefixed "define" command in .gdbinit so as to not upset gdb 9.1
47 bytes, text/x-phabricator-request
Details | Review

Starting GDB 9.1 (Debian package version 9.1-1) from the top level of a mozilla-central clone shows this error:

.gdbinit:25: Error in sourced command file:
Ambiguous command "def prun": define, define-prefix.

And the commands that would have been defined by that file aren't defined. It looks like gdb added the define-prefix command in 9.1, making any proper prefix of define ambiguous. We should change all of the defs in our gdbinit to the unabbreviated define.

See the attached patch -- is this what you meant?

Yes; thanks. I applied that patch locally and GDB 9.1 successfully interprets the .gdbinit file.
