Copy gdb-gdb.py to build dir
I have thought for a long time how nice it would be to have cool pretty printers for GDB's internal types. Well, turns out there are few already in gdb-gdb.py! Unfortunately, if you build GDB outside of the source directory, that file never gets loaded. top-gdb will look for a file called ../path/to/build/gdb/gdb-gdb.py but that file is in the source directory at ../path/to/src/gdb/gdb-gdb.py This patch makes it so we copy it to the build directory, just like we do for gdb-gdb.gdb. With this, I can at least see the file getting automatically loaded: (top-gdb) info pretty-printer global pretty-printers: builtin mpx_bound128 objfile /home/emaisin/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdb pretty-printers: type_lookup_function I noticed that running "make" didn't re-generate gdb-gdb.py from gdb-gdb.py.in. That's because it's copied when running the configure script and that's it. I added a rule in the Makefile for that (and for gdb-gdb.gdb too) and added them as a dependency to the "all" target. gdb/ChangeLog: * gdb-gdb.py: Move to... * gdb-gdb.py.in: ... here. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add gdb-gdb.py. * Makefile.in (all): Add gdb-gdb.gdb and gdb-gdb.py as dependencies. (distclean): Remove gdb-gdb.py when cleaning. (gdb-gdb.py, gdb-gdb.gdb): New rules. * configure: Re-generate.
