GDB has commands that enable optional debugging messages from various GDB subsystems; normally these commands are of interest to GDB maintainers, or when reporting a bug. This section documents those commands.
set exec-done-display
Turns on or off the notification of asynchronous commands’ completion. When on, GDB will print a message when an asynchronous command finishes its execution. The default is off.
show exec-done-display
Displays the current setting of asynchronous command completion notification.
set debug aarch64
Turns on or off display of debugging messages related to ARM AArch64. The default is off.
show debug aarch64
Displays the current state of displaying debugging messages related to ARM AArch64.

set debug aix-thread
Display debugging messages about inner workings of the AIX thread module.
show debug aix-thread
Show the current state of AIX thread debugging info display.
set debug check-physname
Check the results of the “physname” computation. When reading DWARF debugging information for C++, GDB attempts to compute each entity’s name. GDB can do this computation in two different ways, depending on exactly what information is present. When enabled, this setting causes GDB to compute the names both ways and display any discrepancies.
show debug check-physname
Show the current state of “physname” checking.
set debug coff-pe-read
Control display of debugging messages related to reading of COFF/PE exported symbols. The default is off.
show debug coff-pe-read
Displays the current state of displaying debugging messages related to reading of COFF/PE exported symbols.

Dump DWARF DIEs after they are read in. The value is the number of nesting levels to print. A value of zero turns off the display.
show debug dwarf-die
Show the current state of DWARF DIE debugging.
set debug dwarf-line
Turns on or off display of debugging messages related to reading DWARF line tables. The default is 0 (off). A value of 1 provides basic information. A value greater than 1 provides more verbose information.
show debug dwarf-line
Show the current state of DWARF line table debugging.
set debug dwarf-read
Turns on or off display of debugging messages related to reading DWARF debug info. The default is 0 (off). A value of 1 provides basic information. A value greater than 1 provides more verbose information.

Displays the current state of displaying GDB debugging info related to displaced stepping.
set debug event
Turns on or off display of GDB event debugging info. The default is off.

Turn on or off debugging messages from the Linux namespaces debug support.
show debug linux-namespaces
Show the current state of Linux namespaces debugging messages.
set debug mach-o
Control display of debugging messages related to Mach-O symbols processing. The default is off.
show debug mach-o
Displays the current state of displaying debugging messages related to reading of COFF/PE exported symbols.
set debug notification
Turn on or off debugging messages about remote async notification. The default is off.
show debug notification
Displays the current state of remote async notification debugging messages.
set debug observer
Turns on or off display of GDB observer debugging. This includes info such as the notification of observable events.
show debug observer

show debug overload
Displays the current state of displaying GDB C++ overload debugging info.
set debug parser
Turns on or off the display of expression parser debugging output.
Internally, this sets the yydebug variable in the expression
parser. See Tracing Your Parser in Bison, for
details. The default is off.
show debug parser
