GDB with fzf python plugin

This is a patch for GDB that integrates FZF fuzzy finder with GDB's history search and auto complete.

Installation

1. install fzf
   • For Debian/Ubuntu: apt install fzf
2. Add source {Your download path}/gdb-fzf.py to ~/.gdbinit

You can turn off feature by commenting out

    assert (libreadline.rl_bind_keyseq(b"\\C-r", fzf_search_history) == 0)
    assert (libreadline.rl_bind_keyseq(b"\\t", fzf_auto_complete) == 0)

And you also can add your key binding.

Better GDB auto complete

Add to ~/.inputrc

Warning: It will effect all programs that use libreadline

"\e[A": "\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward

Infinite GDB history

Set up infinite GDB history. Should be added to ~/.gdbinit.

set history save on
set history size unlimited
set history remove-duplicates unlimited
set history filename ~/.gdb_eternal_history

More completions

Set up GDB max-completions. Should be added to ~/.gdbinit.

set max-completions 0x10000
