Add docs for gdbinit and lldbinit #12227
Description
Activity
I think Node core debugging (with gdb or lldb) does not belong in the guide for
--inspectdebugging.Those are really V8 files. I'd suggest uploading a CL in the V8 repo with documentation. I'd prefer it inside the config files to avoid outdated documentation. Seems strange to me to document another project's config files in a separate file in Node.

Yeah, that does sound better. I'll do that.

Could you point me to some config file that does this so I can follow the same format?
Reacted by F. HinkelmannI don't think V8 has a specific format for documentation. I see you already have a comment for every command. You can just add one or more paragraphs in the beginning with whatever you think would be useful. Thanks for adding some documentation!

Great, I'll do that thanks!
Currently when running
make installgdbinit and soon lldbinit are installed to$PREFIX//share/doc/node/, where prefix is the value specified using --prefix to configure, but there is no documentation regarding how to use these file.This issue should add such documentation to the appropriate place. Perhaps the guides/debugging_getting_started.md is a good place?
