Thank you! I'll update this for recent GDB, and then we can perhaps point the devguide to it. To everyone else: Please don't add GitHub suggestions, they might be lost. |
I'm signing off for the day. Here's a first pass, I'll finish tomorrow. |
Ready for review. Diátaxis-wise, this leans toward being a reference rather than a how-to guide. I'm not sure how to quickly handle that -- the document assumes you know debugging with GDB, and only provides a few details. Once merged, the devguide page should be updated to point here, and retain only the parts specific to CPython core ( |

I just skimmed through it and left a few comments about the high-level structure of the document and its headers.

This title is not very descriptive -- maybe
Linux distros | |
Installing debug information package on Linux |
If this only works on Linux, you could just use:
Linux distros | |
Installing Python debug information package |
and state in the first paragraph that these are only available on Linux.

Setting things up depends on how you got your Python. These are examples for two common cases: source builds, and Linux distros. (No Windows or Mac, you wouldn't typically use GDB there.)

If this is a prerequisite, it should be listed above, and this section would just explain how to do it, with a title like:

I'd keep Python itself is a prerequisite for the prerequisites. The guide doesn't tell you how to get it, but how to set things up for it.
Hopefully “Setup with Python built from source” is clearer.

you generally do need to install the debug info package separately. | ||

This title could also be more "action-oriented":
Debug build and Development mode | |
Building Python in "debug" and "development" mode |
or
Debug build and Development mode | |
Enabling "debug" and "development" mode |
This could also be a sub-section of the "Building Python from source" section above. You wouldn't want to read that and build everything and then discover that you have to do it again with debug/dev mode enabled.

You do want both: for debugging extensions it's sometimes easier to use the production build.
And these are not specific to source builds.

This seems to be the actual how-to.
You could also add a short introductory paragraph like "After installing the dependencies, you can now use the `python-gdb extension to ...".

The previous section tells you how to set things up, this tessl you how to use it :)

I understand that you wish to move this forward quickly @encukou. I would like to see:

Let's come up with a better title and address the introduction section that I mention in my comments. After that, I think this will be ready to merge from my vantage point.
I'm less concerned about where this falls diataxis-wise and more concerned that we have clarity of its purpose for the reader and for future disambiguation of the old-style HOWTOs.
When you're done making the requested changes, leave the comment: |
Co-authored-by: Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti@gmail.com>
Thanks! Your perspectives are very helpful here; I'm too deep in :)
I thought the first section covers exactly these questions. When you have the time, could you please be more specific about how it should be written? |
@encukou I like the changes that you have made to the headings.
I think it is being more explicit to the reader. I will leave an example in the comments here later today. Thanks! |
@encukou This is more along the lines of what I was thinking:
It takes most of the info that you wrote but breaks it into more logical chunks for a reader, such a scientist writing and debugging a C extension, who has not yet used the the Python extension with GDB.

Thank you for the concrete wording! I hope it will help future me write better introductions on my own :) I edited your suggestion for technical details, and to highlight that this doesn't teach how to use GDB itself -- the guide (and the extension) are mainly useful for people who already use GDB. I take your GitHub approval as a sign that you don't necessarily want to review again, so, I'll merge on Monday if there are no objections. |
Thanks @encukou for the touchups to my wording. I'm fine with the PR. 🚢 |
Thank you! |
Thanks @pablogsal for the PR, and @encukou for merging it 🌮🎉.. I'm working now to backport this PR to: 3.12. |
