22 | While thinking about it overriding some GDB _commands_ was not my intention. | |
23 | ||
24 | There is a general assumption if I have a shell COMMAND and some FILE I can do | |
25 | $ COMMAND FILE | |
26 | and COMMAND will appropriately load the FILE. | |
27 | ||
28 | FSF GDB currently needs to specify also the executable file for core files | |
29 | which already inhibits this intuitive expectation. OTOH with the build-id | |
30 | locating patch which could allow such intuitive start notneeding the | |
31 | executable file. Still it currently did not work due to the required "-c": | |
32 | $ COMMAND -c COREFILE | |
33 | ||
34 | Entering "file", "core-file" or "attach" commands is already explicit enough | |
35 | so that it IMO should do what the command name says without any | |
36 | autodetections. The second command line argument | |
37 | (captured_main->pid_or_core_arg) is also autodetected (for PID or CORE) but | |
38 | neither "attach" accepts a core file nor "core-file" accepts a PID. | |
39 | ||
51a5ef0f PS |
40 | The patch makes sense only with the build-id patchset so this is not submit |
41 | for FSF GDB inclusion yet. I am fine with your patch (+/- Hui Zhu's pending | |
42 | bfd_check_format_matches) as the patch below is its natural extension. | |

49 | * exceptions.h (enum errors <IS_CORE_ERROR>): New. | |
50 | * exec.c: Include exceptions.h. | |
51 | (exec_file_attach <bfd_core>): Call throw_error (IS_CORE_ERROR, ...). | |
52 | * main.c (exec_or_core_file_attach): New. | |
53 | (captured_main <optind < argc>): Set also corearg. | |
54 | (captured_main <strcmp (execarg, symarg) == 0>): New variable func. | |
55 | Call exec_or_core_file_attach if COREARG matches EXECARG. Call | |
56 | symbol_file_add_main only if CORE_BFD remained NULL. | |
