Configuration

xds-gdb configuration is defined by variables (see listed below).

These variables may be set using:

  • environment variables (inherited),
  • or a config file set with XDS_CONFIG environment variable, for example: XDS_CONFIG=/tmp/my_xds_gdb_config.env xds-gdb
  • or by setting variables within a gdb ini file (see details below),
  • or a "user" config file located in following directory (first found is taken):
  • $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)/.xds-gdb.env
  • $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)/../xds-gdb.env
  • $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)/target/xds-gdb.env
  • $(HOME)/.config/xds/xds-gdb.env

Configuration Variables

XDS_CONFIG

Config file defining XDS_xxx configuration variables.

Variables of this file will overwrite inherited environment variables.

Variables definition may be prefixed or not by "export" keyword.

Here is an example of config file:

cat $HOME/myProject/xds-gdb.env

export XDS_AGENT_URL=http://localhost:8800
export XDS_PROJECT_ID=4021617e-ced0-11e7-acd2-3c970e49ad9b
export XDS_SDK_ID=c226821b-b5c0-386d-94fe-19f807946d03

XDS_LOGLEVEL

Set logging level

Supported levels:

  • panic
  • fatal
  • error
  • warn
  • info
  • debug

XDS_LOGFILE

Set logging file, default /tmp/xds-gdb.log.

XDS_NATIVE_GDB

Use native gdb mode instead of XDS mode.

XDS_PROJECT_ID (mandatory in XDS mode)

Project ID you want to build

XDS_RPATH

Relative path into project

XDS_SDK_ID (mandatory in XDS mode)

Configuration variables set within gdb init command file

Above XDS_xxx variables may also be defined within gdb init command file (see --command or -x option of genuine Gdb).

You must respect the following syntax: commented line including :XDS-ENV: tag

Example of gdb init file where we define project and sdk ID:

     # :XDS-ENV: XDS_PROJECT_ID=4021617e-ced0-11e7-acd2-3c970e49ad9b
     # :XDS-ENV: XDS_SDK_ID=c226821b-b5c0-386d-94fe-19f807946d03
