How to set default options for gdb?

gdb

Solution

The initialization file for `gdb` is called `.gdbinit`. You can put your desired options in this file. They'll be automatically executed during gdb's startup.

Example content:

# set command line argument to "2"
set args 2

You may put the `.gdbinit` file into your $HOME or current directory. The latter overrides the settings in the global `$HOME/.gdbinit` file.

Problem

I have several options that I set every time I open GDB, for instance: ``` set print thread-events off ``` Is there a way to set these options by default, perhaps something like a .gdb_rc file?
