From 8768c3e3629657d9728487c680b173868baeee7f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Tromey Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2020 13:02:40 -0600 Subject: Add get_standard_config_dir function This adds a new get_standard_config_dir, which returns the name of the configuration directory. In XDG, this is ~/.config/gdb/. Future patches will make use of this. 2020-07-05 Tom Tromey * pathstuff.h (get_standard_config_dir): Declare. * pathstuff.cc (get_standard_config_dir): New function. --- gdbsupport/pathstuff.h | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) (limited to 'gdbsupport/pathstuff.h') diff --git a/gdbsupport/pathstuff.h b/gdbsupport/pathstuff.h index 4bc0d89..85241bc 100644 --- a/gdbsupport/pathstuff.h +++ b/gdbsupport/pathstuff.h @@ -85,6 +85,20 @@ extern std::string get_standard_cache_dir (); extern std::string get_standard_temp_dir (); +/* Get the usual user config directory for the current platform. + + On Linux, it follows the XDG Base Directory specification: use + $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gdb if the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable is + defined, otherwise $HOME/.config. + + On macOS, it follows the local convention and uses + ~/Library/Preferences/gdb. + + The return value is absolute and tilde-expanded.
