- # If you use the GNU debugger gdb to debug the Python C runtime, you
- # might find some of the following commands useful. Copy this to your
- # ~/.gdbinit file and it'll get loaded into gdb automatically when you
- # start it up. Then, at the gdb prompt you can do things like:
- #
- # (gdb) pyo apyobjectptr
- # <module 'foobar' (built-in)>
- # refcounts: 1
- # address : 84a7a2c
- # $1 = void
- # (gdb)
-
- # Prints a representation of the object to stderr, along with the
- # number of reference counts it current has and the hex address the
- # object is allocated at. The argument must be a PyObject*
- define pyo
- print _PyObject_Dump($arg0)
- end
-
- # Prints a representation of the object to stderr, along with the
- # number of reference counts it current has and the hex address the
- # object is allocated at. The argument must be a PyGC_Head*
- define pyg
- print _PyGC_Dump($arg0)
- end
-
- # print the local variables of the current frame
- define pylocals
- set $_i = 0
- while $_i < f->f_nlocals
- if f->f_localsplus + $_i != 0
- set $_names = co->co_varnames
- set $_name = PyString_AsString(PyTuple_GetItem($_names, $_i))
- printf "%s:\n", $_name
- # side effect of calling _PyObject_Dump is to dump the object's
- # info - assigning just prevents gdb from printing the
- # NULL return value
- set $_val = _PyObject_Dump(f->f_localsplus[$_i])
- end
- set $_i = $_i + 1
- end
- end
-
- # print the current frame - verbose
- define pyframev
- pyframe
- pylocals
- end
-
- define pyframe
- set $__fn = (char *)((PyStringObject *)co->co_filename)->ob_sval
- set $__n = (char *)((PyStringObject *)co->co_name)->ob_sval
- printf "%s (%d): %s\n", $__fn, f->f_lineno, $__n

- # Here's a somewhat fragile way to print the entire Python stack from gdb.
- # It's fragile because the tests for the value of $pc depend on the layout
- # of specific functions in the C source code.
-
- # Explanation of while and if tests: We want to pop up the stack until we
- # land in Py_Main (this is probably an incorrect assumption in an embedded
- # interpreter, but the test can be extended by an interested party). If
- # Py_Main <= $pc <= Py_GetArgcArv is true, $pc is in Py_Main(), so the while
- # tests succeeds as long as it's not true. In a similar fashion the if
- # statement tests to see if we are in eval_frame().
-
- # print the entire Python call stack
- define pystack
- while $pc < Py_Main || $pc > Py_GetArgcArgv
- if $pc > PyEval_EvalFrame && $pc < PyEval_EvalCodeEx
- pyframe
- end
- up-silently 1
- end
- select-frame 0

-
- # print the entire Python call stack - verbose mode
- define pystackv
- while $pc < Py_Main || $pc > Py_GetArgcArgv
- if $pc > PyEval_EvalFrame && $pc < PyEval_EvalCodeEx
- pyframev
