# We set a break in the 'main()' function of a dynamically linked
# application by using the following gdb command sequence. It's important that
# the 'main()' breakpoint gets set before the 'sharedlibrary' command is
# executed. Otherwise the breakpoint would get set in ld.lib.so's main()
# function.
#
set gdb_cmds ""
# don't ask for y/n when loading a new symbol file
append gdb_cmds {-ex "set interactive-mode off" }
# load the symbols of ld.lib.so
append gdb_cmds {-ex "symbol-file bin/ld.lib.so" }
# set a breakpoint in the 'Linker::Binary::call_entry_point' function
append gdb_cmds {-ex "b Linker::Binary::call_entry_point" }
# continue execution until the breakpoint triggers
append gdb_cmds {-ex "c" }
# delete the 'call_program_main()' breakpoint
append gdb_cmds {-ex "delete 1" }
# load the symbols of the test application
append gdb_cmds "-ex \"symbol-file bin/$target_binary_name\" "
# set a breakpoint in the application's 'main()' function

# set search path for "sharedlibrary" to bin
