      wt_debug_script_update.py is intended to aid the developer when parsing core dumps. However it is implemented in a non-standard way and it automatically runs on load. It should be converted into a series of python gdb commands. This page has a good tutorial, additionally the dump_insert_list.py script in our repository can be copied from too.

      Basically what we want to do is to stop it auto-running on load and make the functions invocable through the gdb.Command interface.

      Scope:

      • Tidy up the wt_debug_script_update.py script
      • Test it with a core dump
