# If you use the GNU debugger gdb to debug the Python C runtime, you
# might find some of the following commands useful. Copy this to your
# ~/.gdbinit file and it'll get loaded into gdb automatically when you
# start it up. Then, at the gdb prompt you can do things like:
#
# (gdb) pyo apyobjectptr
# <module 'foobar' (built-in)>
# refcounts: 1
# address : 84a7a2c
# $1 = void
# (gdb)
#
# NOTE: If you have gdb 7 or later, it supports debugging of Python directly
# with embedded macros that you may find superior to what is in here.
# See Tools/gdb/libpython.py and http://bugs.python.org/issue8032.

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