As an example lets say I have a linked list implemented in C. Can I use the GDB python API to implement a custom array access operator so that I can get a value from the list like myList[0] while debugging?

Have tried reading through the docs but could find nothing on it

  • With the XMethod API this should be possible, but I don't actually know if this would work for C as well (since you can't define operator[] in C). Commented Feb 20, 2023 at 5:36
  • Thank you! That half works it seems. I can define xmethods, but they don't seem to run for C (I need to set the language to c++ and then they run) Commented Feb 20, 2023 at 9:37
  • @YupDeDup Indeed. The XMethod API is designed to provide C++ operators - often these operators are inlined in compiled code and so not available for GDB to call while debugging. As C has no operator overload feature the XMethods are not applied when debugging C code. Commented Feb 20, 2023 at 10:51
