Hello all,

I am seeking open source examples (or tutorials, given that I am unfamiliar with Python) of GDB scripting.

Since I have a naughty bug : https://github.com/RefPerSys/RefPerSys/issues/30

The scripting could be in GNU guile (I much prefer that language).

For example, I would like to automatically add a breakpoint to every line calling the RPS_POSSIBLE_BREAKPOINT() macro
That macro is nearly a no-op one defined in https://github.com/RefPerSys/RefPerSys/blob/19f01d3783c9f727980f21fc2c66db4837745b61/refpersys.hh#L1335

Thanks for your help.

Regards

PS. RefPerSys is a GPL licensed inference engine, I dream of it becoming a GNU project but don't know how to do that.
In the past I did contribute to GCC, https://arxiv.org/abs/1109.0779
