Invoke and control GDB from Python
Yes, you can control GDB from Python. The Python documentation is at http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Python.html#Python.
If you want an example of some scripting, take a look at http://tromey.com/blog/?p=548
pygdbmi is what you want.
With it I was able to reset an embedded target from Python using the following:
from pygdbmi.gdbcontroller import GdbControllerif __name__ == '__main__': gdbmi = GdbController() response = gdbmi.write('b main') response = gdbmi.write('target remote localhost:2331') response = gdbmi.write('mon reset 0') response = gdbmi.write('c')gdbgui provides a much cooler example.
