From: Tom Tromey Date: Mon, 1 May 2023 19:53:59 +0000 (-0600) Subject: Add attributes and methods to gdb.Inferior X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3153113252f3b949a159439a17e88af8ff0dce30;p=binutils-gdb.git Add attributes and methods to gdb.Inferior This adds two new attributes and three new methods to gdb.Inferior. The attributes let Python code see the command-line arguments and the name of "main". Argument setting is also supported. The methods let Python code manipulate the inferior's environment variables.
