#!/usr/bin/perl

# File: guest-gdb
#
# Purpose: Wraps a GNU Debugger instance around a program. Watches for
# invocations of a gdb() function to handle gdb commands from the program.
# Reports information about local variables when signals are detected.
#
# Usage: guest-gdb [executable]
#
# If [executable] is omitted, it will default to `prog`. Don't forget to
# compile with -g for debugging symbols.

# The DEBUG environment variable can be set to an integer value to enable
# internal debugging output. Set it to 1 for minimal debugging; to 2 to
# also dump the parsed GDB/MI data structures.
