Re: [Libjit] unwinding in gdb

[Jakob Löw]

Hey again,

so i attached my version of the script, the main enhancements are the
libjit-context command which allows to specify the jit context and the
optional libjit-name-meta which specifies a value used with
jit_function_get_meta, allowing to print function names rather than
code ranges. Fell free to try it with your emacs thing and tell me if
it works :)
