HP gnu source-level debugger 5992-4701 - Manual (Page 118)

show
symbol-reloading
Show the current on or off
setting.
set opaque-type-resolution
on
Tell GDB to resolve opaque types. An opaque
type is a type declared as a pointer to a struct,
class
, or union―for example, struct
MyType * ―that is used in one source file
although the full declaration of struct MyType
is in another source file. The default is on.
A change in the setting of this subcommand will
not take effect until the next time symbols for a
file are loaded.
set opaque-type-resolution
off
Tell GDB not to resolve opaque types. In this
case, the type is printed as follows:
{<no data fields>}
show opaque-type-resolution Show whether opaque types are resolved or not.
maint print symbols
filename , maint print
Write a dump of debugging symbol data into the
file filename. These commands are used to
debug the GDB symbol-reading code. Only
psymbols filename , maint
print msymbols filename symbols with debugging data are included. If
you use 'maint print symbols', GDB
includes all the symbols for which it has already
collected full details: that is, filename reflects
symbols for only those files whose symbols GDB
has read. You can use the command info
sources
to find out which files these are. If you
use 'maint print psymbols' instead, the
dump shows information about symbols that
GDB only knows partially―that is, symbols
defined in files that GDB has skimmed, but not
yet read completely. Finally, 'maint print
msymbols
' dumps just the minimal symbol
information required for each object file from
which GDB has read some symbols. See
“Commands to specify files” (page 125) , for a
discussion of how GDB reads symbols (in the
description of symbol-file).
