+@cindex default behavior of commands, changing
+@cindex default settings, changing
+
+Many commands change their behavior according to command-specific
+variables or settings. These settings can be changed with the
+@code{set} subcommands. For example, the @code{print} command
+(@pxref{Data, ,Examining Data}) prints arrays differently depending on
+settings changeable with the commands @code{set print elements
+NUMBER-OF-ELEMENTS} and @code{set print array-indexes}, among others.
+
+You can change these settings to your preference in the gdbinit files
+loaded at @value{GDBN} startup. @xref{Startup}.
+
+The settings can also be changed interactively during the debugging
+session. For example, to change the limit of array elements to print,
+you can do the following:
+@smallexample
+(@value{GDBN}) set print elements 10
+(@value{GDBN}) print some_array
+$1 = @{0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90...@}
+@end smallexample
+
+The above @code{set print elements 10} command changes the number of
+elements to print from the default of 200 to 10. If you only intend
+this limit of 10 to be used for printing @code{some_array}, then you
+must restore the limit back to 200, with @code{set print elements
+200}.
+
+Some commands allow overriding settings with command options. For
+example, the @code{print} command supports a number of options that
+allow overriding relevant global print settings as set by @code{set
+print} subcommands. @xref{print options}. The example above could be
+rewritten as:
+@smallexample
+(@value{GDBN}) print -elements 10 -- some_array
+$1 = @{0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90...@}
+@end smallexample
+
+Alternatively, you can use the @code{with} command to change a setting
+temporarily, for the duration of a command invocation.
+
+@table @code
+@kindex with command
+@kindex w @r{(@code{with})}
+@cindex settings
+@cindex temporarily change settings
+@item with @var{setting} [@var{value}] [-- @var{command}]
+@itemx w @var{setting} [@var{value}] [-- @var{command}]
+Temporarily set @var{setting} to @var{value} for the duration of
+@var{command}.
+
+@var{setting} is any setting you can change with the @code{set}
+subcommands. @var{value} is the value to assign to @code{setting}
+while running @code{command}.
+
+If no @var{command} is provided, the last command executed is
+repeated.
+
+If a @var{command} is provided, it must be preceded by a double dash
+(@code{--}) separator. This is required because some settings accept
+free-form arguments, such as expressions or filenames.
+
+For example, the command
+@smallexample
+(@value{GDBN}) with print array on -- print some_array
+@end smallexample
+@noindent
+is equivalent to the following 3 commands:
+@smallexample
+(@value{GDBN}) set print array on
+(@value{GDBN}) print some_array
+(@value{GDBN}) set print array off
+@end smallexample
+
+The @code{with} command is particularly useful when you want to
+override a setting while running user-defined commands, or commands
+defined in Python or Guile. @xref{Extending GDB,, Extending GDB}.
+
+@smallexample
+(@value{GDBN}) with print pretty on -- my_complex_command
+@end smallexample
+
+To change several settings for the same command, you can nest
+@code{with} commands. For example, @code{with language ada -- with
+print elements 10} temporarily changes the language to Ada and sets a
+limit of 10 elements to print for arrays and strings.

@cindex optimized out, in backtrace
@cindex function call arguments, optimized out
in the list, until it finds a file with the desired name.
For example, suppose an executable references the file
-@file{/usr/src/foo-1.0/lib/foo.c}, and our source path is
-@file{/mnt/cross}. The file is first looked up literally; if this
-fails, @file{/mnt/cross/usr/src/foo-1.0/lib/foo.c} is tried; if this
-fails, @file{/mnt/cross/foo.c} is opened; if this fails, an error
-message is printed. @value{GDBN} does not look up the parts of the
+@file{/usr/src/foo-1.0/lib/foo.c}, does not record a compilation
+directory, and the @dfn{source path} is @file{/mnt/cross}.
+@value{GDBN} would look for the source file in the following
+locations:
+
+@enumerate
+
+@item @file{/usr/src/foo-1.0/lib/foo.c}
+@item @file{/mnt/cross/usr/src/foo-1.0/lib/foo.c}
+@item @file{/mnt/cross/foo.c}
+
+@end enumerate
+
+If the source file is not present at any of the above locations then
+an error is printed. @value{GDBN} does not look up the parts of the
source file name, such as @file{/mnt/cross/src/foo-1.0/lib/foo.c}.
Likewise, the subdirectories of the source path are not searched: if
the source path is @file{/mnt/cross}, and the binary refers to
@file{/mnt/cross/usr/src/foo-1.0/lib}.
Plain file names, relative file names with leading directories, file
-names containing dots, etc.@: are all treated as described above; for
-instance, if the source path is @file{/mnt/cross}, and the source file
-is recorded as @file{../lib/foo.c}, @value{GDBN} would first try
-@file{../lib/foo.c}, then @file{/mnt/cross/../lib/foo.c}, and after
-that---@file{/mnt/cross/foo.c}.
+names containing dots, etc.@: are all treated as described above,
+except that non-absolute file names are not looked up literally. If
+the @dfn{source path} is @file{/mnt/cross}, the source file is
+recorded as @file{../lib/foo.c}, and no compilation directory is
+recorded, then @value{GDBN} will search in the following locations:
+
+@enumerate
+
+@item @file{/mnt/cross/../lib/foo.c}
+@item @file{/mnt/cross/foo.c}
+
+@end enumerate
+
+@kindex cdir
+@kindex cwd
+@vindex $cdir@r{, convenience variable}
+@vindex $cwd@r{, convenience variable}
+@cindex compilation directory
+@cindex current directory
+@cindex working directory
+@cindex directory, current
+@cindex directory, compilation
+The @dfn{source path} will always include two special entries
+@samp{$cdir} and @samp{$cwd}, these refer to the compilation directory
+(if one is recorded) and the current working directory respectively.
+
+@samp{$cdir} causes @value{GDBN} to search within the compilation
+directory, if one is recorded in the debug information. If no
+compilation directory is recorded in the debug information then
+@samp{$cdir} is ignored.
+
+@samp{$cwd} is not the same as @samp{.}---the former tracks the
+current working directory as it changes during your @value{GDBN}
+session, while the latter is immediately expanded to the current
+directory at the time you add an entry to the source path.
+
+If a compilation directory is recorded in the debug information, and
+@value{GDBN} has not found the source file after the first search
+using @dfn{source path}, then @value{GDBN} will combine the
+compilation directory and the filename, and then search for the source
+file again using the @dfn{source path}.
+
+For example, if the executable records the source file as
+@file{/usr/src/foo-1.0/lib/foo.c}, the compilation directory is
+recorded as @file{/project/build}, and the @dfn{source path} is
+@file{/mnt/cross:$cdir:$cwd} while the current working directory of
+the @value{GDBN} session is @file{/home/user}, then @value{GDBN} will
+search for the source file in the following loctions:
+
+@enumerate
+
+@item @file{/usr/src/foo-1.0/lib/foo.c}
+@item @file{/mnt/cross/usr/src/foo-1.0/lib/foo.c}
+@item @file{/project/build/usr/src/foo-1.0/lib/foo.c}
+@item @file{/home/user/usr/src/foo-1.0/lib/foo.c}
+@item @file{/mnt/cross/project/build/usr/src/foo-1.0/lib/foo.c}
+@item @file{/project/build/project/build/usr/src/foo-1.0/lib/foo.c}
+@item @file{/home/user/project/build/usr/src/foo-1.0/lib/foo.c}
+@item @file{/mnt/cross/foo.c}
+@item @file{/project/build/foo.c}
+@item @file{/home/user/foo.c}
+
+@end enumerate
+
+If the file name in the previous example had been recorded in the
+executable as a relative path rather than an absolute path, then the
+first look up would not have occurred, but all of the remaining steps
+would be similar.
+
+When searching for source files on MS-DOS and MS-Windows, where
+absolute paths start with a drive letter (e.g.
+@file{C:/project/foo.c}), @value{GDBN} will remove the drive letter
+from the file name before appending it to a search directory from
+@dfn{source path}; for instance if the executable references the
+source file @file{C:/project/foo.c} and @dfn{source path} is set to
+@file{D:/mnt/cross}, then @value{GDBN} will search in the following
+locations for the source file:
+
+@enumerate
+
+@item @file{C:/project/foo.c}
+@item @file{D:/mnt/cross/project/foo.c}
+@item @file{D:/mnt/cross/foo.c}
+
+@end enumerate
Note that the executable search path is @emph{not} used to locate the
source files.
