Add a gdb-like "load" command... #61

Closed rocky closed 4 years ago

rocky commented 4 years ago

This command can be used to load in a GNU Makefile from the debugger. The short option is M for "Makefile"

I have to review it tomorrow morning, have to go to bed a bit earlier today.

Sleep is good! No hurry on this. The main idea was to give and example for how to add a command.

I do like this. In debug sessions I often fix the source code and the issue load to have the code read in, so that I can continue.

I can also imagine having specific "debug"-oriented makefiles that aren't normally used, but when you want to trace things are avialable. I believe this is an aspect of "aspect-oriented programming".

What does review include btw? Testing the PR and if yes to what extend?

It can be anything you want it to be. Of course, I really appreciate it when you test the PR. I don't normally have access to the *BSD systems or OSX. (I am hoping CI would fill in the gaps here)

And if you are not up to review its okay to just say so.
