+@cindex @file{@var{objfile}-gdb.py}
+
+When a new object file is read, @value{GDBN} looks for

+where @var{objfile} is the object file's real name, formed by ensuring
+that the file name is absolute, following all symlinks, and resolving

+
+If this file does not exist, and if the parameter
+@code{debug-file-directory} is set (@pxref{Separate Debug Files}),
+then @value{GDBN} will look for @var{real-name} in all of the

+
+Finally, if this file does not exist, then @value{GDBN} will look for

+@var{data-directory} is @value{GDBN}'s data directory (available via

+is the object file's real name, as described above.
+
+@value{GDBN} does not track which files it has already auto-loaded this way.
+@value{GDBN} will load the associated script every time the corresponding

+@node .debug_gdb_scripts section
+@subsubsection The @code{.debug_gdb_scripts} section
+@cindex @code{.debug_gdb_scripts} section
+
+For systems using file formats like ELF and COFF,
+when @value{GDBN} loads a new object file
+it will look for a special section named @samp{.debug_gdb_scripts}.
+If this section exists, its contents is a list of names of scripts to load.
+
+@value{GDBN} will look for each specified script file first in the
+current directory and then along the source search path
+(@pxref{Source Path, ,Specifying Source Directories}),
+except that @file{$cdir} is not searched, since the compilation
+directory is not relevant to scripts.
+
+Entries can be placed in section @code{.debug_gdb_scripts} with,
+for example, this GCC macro:
+
+@example
+/* Note: The "MS" section flags are to remote duplicates. */
+#define DEFINE_GDB_SCRIPT(script_name) \
+ asm("\
+.pushsection \".debug_gdb_scripts\", \"MS\",@@progbits,1\n\
+.byte 1\n\
+.asciz \"" script_name "\"\n\
+.popsection \n\
+");
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+Then one can reference the macro in a header or source file like this:
+
+@example
+DEFINE_GDB_SCRIPT ("my-app-scripts.py")
+@end example
+
+The script name may include directories if desired.
+
+If the macro is put in a header, any application or library
+using this header will get a reference to the specified script.
+
+@node Which flavor to choose?
+@subsubsection Which flavor to choose?
+
+Given the multiple ways of auto-loading Python scripts, it might not always
+be clear which one to choose. This section provides some guidance.
+
+Benefits of the @file{-gdb.py} way:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Can be used with file formats that don't support multiple sections.
+
+@item
+Ease of finding scripts for public libraries.
+
+Scripts specified in the @code{.debug_gdb_scripts} section are searched for
+in the source search path.
+For publicly installed libraries, e.g., @file{libstdc++}, there typically
+isn't a source directory in which to find the script.
+
+@item
+Doesn't require source code additions.
+@end itemize
+
+Benefits of the @code{.debug_gdb_scripts} way:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Works with static linking.
+
+Scripts for libraries done the @file{-gdb.py} way require an objfile to
+trigger their loading. When an application is statically linked the only
+objfile available is the executable, and it is cumbersome to attach all the
+scripts from all the input libraries to the executable's @file{-gdb.py} script.
+
+@item
+Works with classes that are entirely inlined.
+
+Some classes can be entirely inlined, and thus there may not be an associated
+shared library to attach a @file{-gdb.py} script to.
+
+@item
+Scripts needn't be copied out of the source tree.
+
+In some circumstances, apps can be built out of large collections of internal
+libraries, and the build infrastructure necessary to install the
+@file{-gdb.py} scripts in a place where @value{GDBN} can find them is
+cumbersome. It may be easier to specify the scripts in the
+@code{.debug_gdb_scripts} section as relative paths, and add a path to the
+top of the source tree to the source search path.
