Comment 1 Ivan Stepanov 2019-07-11 08:31:14 UTC

[user@pc ~]$ cat .gdbinit
python 
import sys

sys.path.append('/home/user/.config/Epic/GDBPrinters/')

from UE4Printers import register_ue4_printers
register_ue4_printers(None)
print("Registered pretty printers for UE4 classes")

end

I also encountered this when adding:
skip -gfi /usr/include/*
skip -gfi /usr/include/*/*
skip -gfi /usr/include/*/*/*
skip -gfi /usr/include/*/*/*/*

to .gdbinit. Seems that anything making output in .gdbinit makes this test fail which is annoying.

A workaround is to put:
show version

as the first line in .gdbinit

gdb: skip to GDB version string

This change allows to use ~/.gdbinit file with constructions like
`skip -gfi /usr/include/c++/*`.
Problem with current implementation is that when .gdbinit contains such
strings GDB output produced is following:
```
File(s) /usr/include/c++/* will be skipped when stepping.
GNU gdb (Ubuntu 8.2.91.20190405-0ubuntu3) 8.2.91.20190405-git
```
And current implementation expects version on the first output from GDB.

This change fixes it by adding skip functionality during GDB session
initialization.
