3 # If you use the GNU debugger gdb to debug the Python C runtime, you
4 # might find some of the following commands useful. Copy this to your
5 # ~/.gdbinit file and it'll get loaded into gdb automatically when you
6 # start it up. Then, at the gdb prompt you can do things like:
7 #
8 # (gdb) pyo apyobjectptr
9 # <module 'foobar' (built-in)>
10 # refcounts: 1
11 # address : 84a7a2c
12 # $1 = void
13 # (gdb)
14
15 # Prints a representation of the object to stderr, along with the
16 # number of reference counts it current has and the hex address the
17 # object is allocated at. The argument must be a PyObject*
18 define pyo
19 print _PyObject_Dump($arg0)

24 # object is allocated at. The argument must be a PyGC_Head*

38 # info - assigning just prevents gdb from printing the
39 # NULL return value

109 # Here's a somewhat fragile way to print the entire Python stack from gdb.
110 # It's fragile because the tests for the value of $pc depend on the layout
111 # of specific functions in the C source code.
112
113 # Explanation of while and if tests: We want to pop up the stack until we
114 # land in Py_Main (this is probably an incorrect assumption in an embedded
115 # interpreter, but the test can be extended by an interested party). If
116 # Py_Main <= $pc <= Py_GetArgcArv is true, $pc is in Py_Main(), so the while
117 # tests succeeds as long as it's not true. In a similar fashion the if
118 # statement tests to see if we are in PyEval_EvalFrameEx().
119
120 # Note: The name of the main interpreter function and the function which
121 # follow it has changed over time. This version of pystack works with this
122 # version of Python. If you try using it with older or newer versions of
123 # the interpreter you may will have to change the functions you compare with
124 # $pc.
