11.3 Convenience Variables for Tracepoints

(int) $trace_frame
The current trace snapshot (a.k.a. frame) number, or -1 if no snapshot is selected.


(int) $tracepoint
The tracepoint for the current trace snapshot.


(int) $trace_line
The line number for the current trace snapshot.


(char []) $trace_file
The source file for the current trace snapshot.


(char []) $trace_func
The name of the function containing $tracepoint.

Note: $trace_file is not suitable for use in printf, use output instead.

Here's a simple example of using these convenience variables for stepping through all the trace snapshots and printing some of their data.

     (gdb) tfind start
     
     (gdb) while $trace_frame != -1
     > output $trace_file
     > printf ", line %d (tracepoint #%d)\n", $trace_line, $tracepoint
     > tfind
     > end
