Hi,

I tried to use gdbinit today and found that the "fragile" pystacks macro didn't
work anymore. I don't know gdb very well, but this turned out to work a bit more
reliably:

# print the entire Python call stack
define pystack
    set $last=0
    while $sp != $last
        if $pc > PyEval_EvalFrame && $pc < PyEval_EvalCodeEx
            pyframe
        end
        set $last=$sp
        up-silently 1
    end
    select-frame 0
end


Just in case anybody might want to use this and update the existing gdbinit.

Christian
