Please suggest how to integrate with debuginfod in the interactive gdb frontend. Since loading debug information can be slow, I'd like to ask the user before loading, similar to what `set debuginfod enabled ask` does in the terminal. The 'set debuginfod enabled ask' defaults to 'N' in the non-interactive terminal. Is there any way to hook into this interaction and make the answer depend on user choice in UI without typing in the console? Also since loading takes time, I'd like to show some progress in UI. Is it possible to get notified when the debuginfo loading for a given binary starts/finishes, and with which result? I thought I could write a MissingDebugHandler in python and wrap debuginfod with necessary progress, but it looks like debuginfod api is not available in python. -- Dmitry
