Instalation:

To install the module using pip run:

pip install https://github.com/realead/cbreakpoint/zipball/master

It is possible to uninstall it afterwards via

pip uninstall cbreakpoint

You can also install using the setup.py file from the root directory of the project:

python setup.py install

However, deinstallation might fail (only manually) if setup.py was used directly.

Take look at the following python script tryout.py:

from cbreakpoint import cbreakpoint

cbreakpoint(1)
print("hello")
cbreakpoint(2)

Now, breakpoints can be set as follows in gdb:

>>> gdb --args python tryout.py
[gdb] break cbreakpoint
[gdb] run

now the program runs until cbreakpoint(0) and hits a breakpoint -> activate other breakpoints of interest.

[gbd] c

gdb stops at cbreakpoint(1).

It is also possible to stop only at cbreakpoint(1), for that use:

[gdb] break src/cbreakpoint.c:12 if breakpoint_id == 1

to get the cbreakpoint-line use condition_line() which return 12 in the current vesion.
