I agree with Michael that it looks like at least part of the problems reported in comment 0 can be caused by using the default history file which resides in the current directory. Anyway, I've now enabled it in my .gdbinit, like so: ... $ cat ~/.gdbinit set history filename ~/.gdb_history set history save on ... and I'll test-drive it for a while. I've tried out the use case of opening two gdb sessions at the same time, and the resulting history file looks sane, so at first glance there doesn't seem to any truncating going on there. The reported "the history only has half the commands I used in the previous session" may just be the history size parameter, defaulting to 256 taking effect. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
