| <h4 class="subsection">23.3.1 Guile Introduction</h4> |
| |
| <p>Guile is an implementation of the Scheme programming language |
| and is the GNU project’s official extension language. |
| </p> |
| <p>Guile support in <small>GDB</small> follows the Python support in <small>GDB</small> |
| reasonably closely, so concepts there should carry over. |
| However, some things are done differently where it makes sense. |
| </p> |
| <p><small>GDB</small> requires Guile version 2.0 or greater. |
| Older versions are not supported. |
| </p> |
| <a name="index-guile-scripts-directory"></a> |
| <p>Guile scripts used by <small>GDB</small> should be installed in |
| <samp><var>data-directory</var>/guile</samp>, where <var>data-directory</var> is |
| the data directory as determined at <small>GDB</small> startup (see <a href="Data-Files.html#Data-Files">Data Files</a>). |
| This directory, known as the <em>guile directory</em>, |
| is automatically added to the Guile Search Path in order to allow |
| the Guile interpreter to locate all scripts installed at this location. |
