warn if "source" fails to open the file when from_tty == 0
Consider the following example: % gdb -q -batch -ex 'source nonexistant-file' [nothing] One would have at least expected the debugger to warn about not finding the file, similar to the error shown when using a more interactive mode. Eg: (gdb) source nonexistant-file nonexistant-file: No such file or directory. Not raising an error appears to be intentional, presumably in order to prevent this situation from stoping the execution of a GDB script. But the lack of at least a warning makes it harder for a user to diagnose any issue, if the file was expected to be there and readable. This patch adds a warning in that case: % gdb -q -batch -ex 'source nonexistant-file' warning: nonexistant-file: No such file or directory. gdb/ChangeLog: * utils.h (perror_warning_with_name): Add declaration. * utils.c (perror_warning_with_name): New function. * cli/cli-cmds.c (source_script_with_search): Add call to perror_warning_with_name if from_tty is nul. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/source-nofile.gdb: New file. * gdb.base/source.exp: Add two tests verifying the behavior when the "source" command is given a non-existant filename.
