Why not just put the entire loop in Python?

Thanks TOM! works in 7.4

Another help needed. Can I use the following in python …
———–
gdb.execute(‘while (!$myFlagToQuit) \
python run_one_stepinto() \
end’,False, True)
———–
I am checking a python var (viz. myFlagToQuit) and want to run one python function (viz. run_one_stepinto) and end the loop.

I am setting the var “myFlagToQuit” within an exit handler.

Your gdb is probably too old. What version are you using?

I am using python 2.6.5 under ubuntu 10.04

When I place a “gdb.events.exited.connect (exit_handler)” in my code

I get a
AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘events’
Error.

what am I missing?

Crud, you’re right, I messed that up.

The idea is that all Gtk code should run in its own thread. I don’t think this is enforced, though, hence my bug.

What I meant was something like (untested):

gdb.events.stop.connect(lambda(event): send_to_gtk(on_stop_event))

… but with on_stop_event suitably defined not to have arguments.

I think you meant to call send_to_gtk(gtk.main_quit) in on_stop_event().
