libstdc++: Install libstdc++*-gdb.py more robustly [PR 99453]
In order for GDB to auto-load the pretty printers, they must be installed as "libstdc++.$ext-gdb.py", where 'libstdc++.$ext' is the name of the object file that is loaded by GDB [1], i.e. the libstdc++ shared library. The approach taken in libstdc++-v3/python/Makefile.am is to loop over files matching 'libstdc++*' in $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir) and choose the last file matching that glob that is not a symlink, the Libtool '*.la' file or a Python file. That works fine for ELF targets where the matching names are: libstdc++.a libstdc++.so libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.0.29 But not for macOS with: libstdc++.6.dylib libstdc++.a Or MinGW with: libstdc++-6.dll libstdc++.dll.a Try to make a better job at installing the pretty printers with the correct name by copying the approach taken by isl [2], that is, using a sed invocation on the Libtool-generated 'libstdc++.la' to read the correct name for the current platform.
