How to highlight and color gdb output during interactive debugging?

Question

Please don\'t reply I should use ffffd, nemiver, emacs, vim, or any other front-end, I just prefer gdb as it is, but would like to see its output with some terminal colors.

Answer 1

you can get whatever colors you want;

# gdb
(gdb) shell echo -en '\E[47;34m'"\033[1m"
...
anything is now blue foreground and white background
...
(gdb) shell tput sgr0
... back to normal
