Subject: load_elf: dump a sequence of gdb commands for easy debugging
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=54329e2d6f5b563a8af5a5563dc4075fc34d8277;p=openpower-isa.git

load_elf: dump a sequence of gdb commands for easy debugging

dumps a sequence of gdb commands that can easily be copied from
the output and pasted into gdb to reset the stack to what load_elf
uses, instead of what gdb's execve does.
