Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to send gdb output to some "text" file
like gdb myprog > gdb.txt, so I wouldn't have to copy all the output by
hand, but I've been unable to do so so far.

Is it possible at all ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated ;-)

Thanks

What I've done for that is something along the lines of the following:

script gdb.txt
gdb myprog
exit # (exits from script subshell)
vim gdb.txt # (fix up line endings)

If you want something that's scriptable, it's possible that gdb's
"-batch" option might be useful for you. I've never used that option,
but I imagine that it can be used only in conjunction with other options
(to feed commands to gdb from an input file, for example).

I hope the above helps ...

You could try pipe the output through the 'tee' command like this:
'gdb myprog | tee gdb.txt'

One way I can think of (and have actually tried and found to work) is
to put all the GDB commands that you would execute in a file, one on a
line, and then call GDB with the -x argument and redirect its output
to another file. For example, if the file with all t thneeded GDB
commands is file.gdb_cmd, you could do:

ayaz$ gdb -q -x file.gdb_cmd > file.out

Of course, this will make the GDB session non-interactive, which might
be a problem.

Certainly!

$ gdb myprog core 2>&1 | tee gdb.txt

Is one way. But if you use emacs, `M-x gdb' is _much_ easier. :-)
