- Subject: editing source files in gdb
Hi,
I referred to the manual on editing source files from inside gdb
using an editor. I gave commands
EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim
export EDITOR
gdb a.out
The problem is that when i give 'edit' from inside gdb to edit the
current source file, gdb is opening a new file in the editor under a
different name. The funny thing is that the new file has the name of
the absolute path of the file with a slash between directory and file
missing. For eg: if file 'test.cpp' is in directory '/home/kiran' then
gdb is opening the file as /home/kirantest.cpp. Could any one help me
in this ?
This feature (coupled with make from inside gdb) would be useful to me
as dont have to exit from gdb for editing the source file if i find a
mistake in my code.
Thanks in advance
Kiran.
