In the old versions of gdb there was an option, -readnever, which suppressed symbol loading. Can I achieve the same result with gdb-7.10? This is needed to just stack traces, not for debugging.

I took a look through the source for older versions of gdb and could not find this option. After a bit of hunting I believe that this option is a RedHat patch. I guess later versions of gdb released by RedHat will include that patch, alternatively, if you are building gdb yourself you could apply that patch.

    I'm writing script, I can't say users to build gdb manually before running script :) probably I just can check and add -readnever if the version is old – user1289 Feb 21 '16 at 08:21
