+ Set whether a source file may have multiple base names.
+ (A "base name" is the name of a file with the directory part removed.
+ Example: The base name of "/home/user/hello.c" is "hello.c".)
+ If set, GDB will canonicalize file names (e.g., expand symlinks)
+ before comparing them. Canonicalization is an expensive operation,
+ but it allows the same file be known by more than one base name.
+ If not set (the default), all source files are assumed to have just
+ one base name, and gdb will do file name comparisons more efficiently.
