What bothers me most on the kernel side is that there is neither
annotation, which tells something is used in a gdb script, nor a compile
time check.

So if Radu hadn't noticed and pointed it out, I wouldn't have known
about it at all.

The insanity snark was just my annoyance about the python integration
into gdb. It's amazing that a debugger provides an extension interface
which is undebuggable. But admittedly it's at least consistent with the
rest of GDB's usability.

I know why I prefer the DBT (Debug By Thinking) debugger. :)

Thanks,
