# 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 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EasierPythonDebugging
# and http://bugs.python.org/issue8032 for more gdb 7 python information.

# 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_EvalFrame().

# print the entire Python call stack
