auto-loading of /usr/local/go/src/pkg/runtime/runtime-gdb.py declined

[John Lawrie]

When I try to debug my go application, I always get the following output on my console. The first warning line is printed in red.

warning: File "/usr/local/go/src/pkg/runtime/runtime-gdb.py" auto-loading has been declined by your `auto-load safe-path' set to "$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load".

To enable execution of this file add

    add-auto-load-safe-path /usr/local/go/src/pkg/runtime/runtime-gdb.py

line to your configuration file "/home/johnlawrie/.gdbinit".

To completely disable this security protection add

    set auto-load safe-path /

line to your configuration file "/home/johnlawrie/.gdbinit".

For more information about this security protection see the

"Auto-loading safe path" section in the GDB manual.  E.g., run from the shell:

    info "(gdb)Auto-loading safe path"

$1 = 0xff

The target endianness is set automatically (currently little endian)

I have tried to follow the instructions printed and have added to my .gdbinit file to try to get gdb to parse in and load the runtime-gdb.py, but I have no luck.

Currently, my /home/johnlawrie/.gdbinit file contains simply

set auto-load safe-path /usr/local/go/

I have also tried using

add-auto-load-safe-path /usr/local/go/src/pkg/runtime/runtime-gdb.py

and

add-auto-load-safe-path /usr/local/go/src/pkg/

None of the options have changed the result. I'm using goclipse and I have version Luna (4.4.0). My gdb is version 7.7 if any of that helps.

Thanks in advance
