michael@0 1 # Apparently, there's simply no way to ask GDB to exit with a non-zero
michael@0 2 # status when the script run with the --eval-command option fails. Thus, if
michael@0 3 # we have --eval-command run prolog.py directly, syntax errors there will
michael@0 4 # lead GDB to exit with no indication anything went wrong.
michael@0 5 #
michael@0 6 # To avert that, we use this very small launcher script to run prolog.py
michael@0 7 # and catch errors.
michael@0 8 #
michael@0 9 # Remember, errors in this file will cause spurious passes, so keep this as
michael@0 10 # simple as possible!
