  68. <p><small>GDB</small> provides two commands for accessing the Guile interpreter:
  69. </p>
  70. <dl compact="compact">
  71. <dd><a name="index-guile_002drepl"></a>
  72. <a name="index-gr"></a>
  73. </dd>
  74. <dt><code>guile-repl</code></dt>
  75. <dt><code>gr</code></dt>
  76. <dd><p>The <code>guile-repl</code> command can be used to start an interactive
  77. Guile prompt or <em>repl</em>. To return to <small>GDB</small>,
  78. type <kbd>,q</kbd> or the <code>EOF</code> character (e.g., <kbd>Ctrl-D</kbd> on
  79. an empty prompt). These commands do not take any arguments.
  80. </p>
  81. <a name="index-guile"></a>
  82. <a name="index-gu"></a>
  83. </dd>
  84. <dt><code>guile <span class="roman">[</span><var>scheme-expression</var><span class="roman">]</span></code></dt>
  85. <dt><code>gu <span class="roman">[</span><var>scheme-expression</var><span class="roman">]</span></code></dt>
  86. <dd><p>The <code>guile</code> command can be used to evaluate a Scheme expression.
  87. </p>
  88. <p>If given an argument, <small>GDB</small> will pass the argument to the Guile
  89. interpreter for evaluation.
  90. </p>
  91. <div class="smallexample">
  92. <pre class="smallexample">(gdb) guile (display (+ 20 3)) (newline)
  93. 23
  94. </pre></div>
  95. <p>The result of the Scheme expression is displayed using normal Guile rules.
  96. </p>
  97. <div class="smallexample">
  98. <pre class="smallexample">(gdb) guile (+ 20 3)
  99. 23
  100. </pre></div>
  101. <p>If you do not provide an argument to <code>guile</code>, it will act as a
  102. multi-line command, like <code>define</code>. In this case, the Guile
  103. script is made up of subsequent command lines, given after the
  104. <code>guile</code> command. This command list is terminated using a line
  105. containing <code>end</code>. For example:
  106. </p>
  107. <div class="smallexample">
  108. <pre class="smallexample">(gdb) guile
  109. &gt;(display 23)
  110. &gt;(newline)
  111. &gt;end
  112. 23
  113. </pre></div>
  114. </dd>
  115. </dl>
  116. <p>It is also possible to execute a Guile script from the <small>GDB</small>
  117. interpreter:
  118. </p>
  119. <dl compact="compact">
  120. <dt><code>source <samp>script-name</samp></code></dt>
  121. <dd><p>The script name must end with &lsquo;<samp>.scm</samp>&rsquo; and <small>GDB</small> must be configured
  122. to recognize the script language based on filename extension using
  123. the <code>script-extension</code> setting. See <a href="Extending-GDB.html#Extending-GDB">Extending GDB</a>.
  124. </p>
  125. </dd>
  126. <dt><code>guile (load &quot;script-name&quot;)</code></dt>
  127. <dd><p>This method uses the <code>load</code> Guile function.
  128. It takes a string argument that is the name of the script to load.
  129. See the Guile documentation for a description of this function.
  130. (see <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Loading.html#Loading">Loading</a> in <cite>GNU Guile Reference Manual</cite>).
