             Bug #: 13188
           Summary: Allow specifying -silent in .gdbinit
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: sourceware.org@danielsh.emailengine.net
    Classification: Unclassified


I'd like gdb to always behave as if '-silent' was specified --- i.e., to never
'show version' at startup.

Request: make it possible to specify -silent via a .gdbinit file.  (Namely, via
some environmental configuration that doesn't have to be repeated on each GDB
invocation.)

Workaround: alias gdb='gdb -silent' in the shell.  That's a workaround since it
won't apply then starting a gdb from places other than an interactive shell.

I'm using 7.0.1-debian, but ratmice on freenode #gdb confirms that the problem
is still present in CVS HEAD, and suggested filing a bug here.
