Notes¤

The cymbol command loads custom C structs and symbols into the debugger using GCC under the hood.

Usage Example: cymbol file --force ./structs.h

--force: Use this flag to force symbol reloading, even if symbols with the same name already exist.

Warning: If a loaded structure defines a symbol that already exists, the debugger may prefer the original symbol or behave unexpectedly. It’s recommended to use unique struct names to avoid symbol conflicts.

Tip: You can add this command to your .gdbinit file for automatic loading: cymbol file --force ./path/to/structs.h
