Description Dave Malcolm 2010-08-05 22:36:16 UTC

Description of problem:
/usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.13-gdb.py contains this fragment:

 dir = os.path.join (os.path.dirname (objfile), dotdots, pythondir)

This assignment to "dir" shadows the "dir" builtin, making it more difficult to use python interactively within gdb.

Suggest the use of "dir_" instead of "dir"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdb-7.0.1-48.fc12.i686
