When CPython is +built you will notice a python-gdb.py file in the root directory of your +checkout. Read the module docstring for details on how to use the file to +enhance gdb for easier debugging of a CPython process. + + +gdb 6 and earlier +----------------- +The file at ``Misc/gdbinit`` contains a gdb configuration file which provides +extra commands when working with a CPython process.
