Subject: Update get_standard_cache_dir for macOS
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e6cd1dc1e6c0d081382ee21c156b205204efc75b;p=binutils-gdb.git

Update get_standard_cache_dir for macOS

On macOS the usual cache directory is ~/Library/Caches.  This patch
changes get_standard_cache_dir to use that instead of XDG.

+Set/show the directory where index files will be saved.

+The default value for this directory depends on the host platform.  On
+most systems, the index is cached in the @file{gdb} subdirectory of
+the directory pointed to by the @env{XDG_CACHE_HOME} environment
+variable, if it is defined, else in the @file{.cache/gdb} subdirectory
+of your home directory.  However, on some systems, the default may
+differ according to local convention.
 
 There is no limit on the disk space used by index cache.  It is perfectly safe
 to delete the content of that directory to free up disk space.
