I have a set of basic breakpoints defined in a user-defined fn setup in my .gdbinit. So, every time i start gdb, I have to execute that fn. to set all my brkpoints , before I start debugging. Can I configure my .gdbinit so that whenever it starts , it first executes my user-defined fn setup ?

A:
Just call it by function name:
My .gdbinit:
define setup
echo Foobar\n
end
setup #This is the function call
And when I run it:
$ gdb

This is because you don't have the binary file loaded, if you are defining breakpoints, the binary must be loaded already when starting GDB, e.g. you must define "file a.out" or smtg like that in your .gdbinit before setting the breakpoints or run "gdb a.out" or so.
