I'm using Python to control GDB via batch commands. Here's how I'm calling GDB:

$ gdb --batch --command=cmd.gdb myprogram

The cmd.gdb listing just contains the line calling the Python script

source cmd.py

And the cmd.py script tries to create a breakpoint and attached command list

bp = gdb.Breakpoint("myFunc()") # break at function in myprogram
gdb.execute("commands " + str(bp.number))
# then what? I'd like to at least execute a "continue" on reaching breakpoint...  
gdb.execute("run")

The problem is I'm at a loss as to how to attach any GDB commands to the breakpoint from the Python script. Is there a way to do this, or am I missing some much easier and more obvious facility for automatically executing breakpoint-specific commands?

def stop from GDB 7.7.1 can be used:

gdb.execute('file a.out', to_string=True)
class MyBreakpoint(gdb.Breakpoint):def stop (self):gdb.write('MyBreakpoint\n')# Continue automatically.return False# Actually stop.return True
MyBreakpoint('main')
gdb.execute('run')
