HP gnu source-level debugger 5992-4701 Names of the executable and core dump files, Are loaded

info files, info target	info files and info target are
	synonymous; both commands print the current
	target (see Chapter 13 (page 133)), including the
	names of the executable and core dump files
	currently in use by GDB, and the files from which
	symbols were loaded. Both the commands list
	all possible targets rather than the current targets.

All file-specifying commands allow both absolute and relative file names as arguments. GDB always converts the file name to an absolute file name and remembers it that way.

GDB automatically loads symbol definitions from shared libraries when you use the run command, or when you examine a core file. (Before you issue the run command, GDB does not understand references to a function in a shared library, however ― unless you are debugging a core file).

On HP-UX, if the program loads a library explicitly, GDB automatically loads the symbols at the time of the shl_load call. See “Breakpoints” (page 51), for more information.

info share, info	Print the names of the shared libraries which are
sharedlibrary	currently loaded.

sharedlibrary regex, share Load shared object library symbols for files matching a

regex	Unix regular expression. As with files loaded
	automatically, it only loads shared libraries required by
	your program for a core file or after typing run. If regex
	is omitted all shared libraries required by your program
	are loaded.

On HP-UX systems, GDB detects the loading of a shared library and automatically reads in symbols from the newly loaded library, up to a threshold that is initially set but that you can modify if you wish.

Beyond that threshold, symbols from shared libraries must be explicitly loaded. To load these symbols, use the command sharedlibrary filename. The base address of the shared library is determined automatically by GDB and need not be specified.

To display or set the threshold, use the commands:

set auto-solib-add	Set the autoloading size threshold, in megabytes.
threshold	If threshold is nonzero, symbols from all
	shared object libraries will be loaded
	automatically when the inferior begins execution
	or when the dynamic linker informs GDB that a
	new library has been loaded, until the symbol
	table of the program and libraries exceeds this
	threshold. Otherwise, symbols must be loaded
	manually, using the sharedlibrary command.
	The default threshold is 100 megabytes.
