Copy gdb-gdb.py to build dir
I have thought for a long time how nice it would be to have cool pretty
printers for GDB's internal types. Well, turns out there are few
already in gdb-gdb.py! Unfortunately, if you build GDB outside of the
source directory, that file never gets loaded. top-gdb will look for a
file called
../path/to/build/gdb/gdb-gdb.py
but that file is in the source directory at
../path/to/src/gdb/gdb-gdb.py
This patch makes it so we copy it to the build directory, just like we
do for gdb-gdb.gdb. With this, I can at least see the file getting
automatically loaded:
(top-gdb) info pretty-printer
global pretty-printers:
builtin
mpx_bound128
objfile /home/emaisin/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdb pretty-printers:
type_lookup_function
I noticed that running "make" didn't re-generate gdb-gdb.py from
gdb-gdb.py.in. That's because it's copied when running the configure
script and that's it. I added a rule in the Makefile for that (and for
gdb-gdb.gdb too) and added them as a dependency to the "all" target.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdb-gdb.py: Move to...
* gdb-gdb.py.in: ... here.
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add gdb-gdb.py.
* Makefile.in (all): Add gdb-gdb.gdb and gdb-gdb.py as
dependencies.
(distclean): Remove gdb-gdb.py when cleaning.
(gdb-gdb.py, gdb-gdb.gdb): New rules.
* configure: Re-generate.
