Question

How do I put the command "commands break#" inside .gdbinit? I tried this but failed. Thank you

define macro1
   b func1
   commands
      p func1_var
   end # gdb complaints that "This command cannot be used at the top level."
end

Make sure you are using commands with s instead of command (yes, I know your post has the s).

That was the cause of the problem for me, but I don't understand why.

GDB 7.11, Ubuntu 16.10.
