9.7 Disable Reading Source Code
In some cases it can be desirable to prevent GDB from
accessing source code files. One case where this might be desirable
is if the source code files are located over a slow network
connection.
The following command can be used to control whether GDB
should access source code files or not:
-
set source open [on|off]
show source open
When this option is on
, which is the default, GDB will
access source code files when needed, for example to print source
lines when GDB stops, or in response to the list
command.
When this option is off
, GDB will not access source
code files.
