If # Py_Main <= $pc <= Py_GetArgcArv is true, $pc is in Py_Main(), so the while # tests succeeds as long as it's not true. In a similar fashion the if # statement tests to see if we are in PyEval_EvalFrame(). # print the entire Python call stack define pystack while $pc < Py_Main || $pc > Py_GetArgcArgv if $pc > PyEval_EvalFrame && $pc < PyEval_EvalCodeEx pyframe end up-silently 1 end select-frame 0 end # print the entire Python call stack - verbose mode define pystackv while $pc < Py_Main || $pc > Py_GetArgcArgv if $pc > PyEval_EvalFrame && $pc < PyEval_EvalCodeEx pyframev end up-silently 1 end select-frame 0 end
