Could you convince your users to submit a real bug report, please? Gunnar

Nothing has been changed in gdb.el as far as I can see. Can you see this also directly from "xemacs -vanilla"? Jan

Sun 1.12 1.12 Support for Sparcworks. Yes I have this package. I'm not sure, but I suspect I have always had it before I saw the problem with gdb. Should I remove it? Clearly, something changed with xemacs gdb package. I'm still using the same underlying OS and gdb-4.18 as before.

I have not tried the latest gdb package, but for as long as I've been using gdb, M-x gdb always displayed the source, just as Neal says. I've never used gdbsrc (explicitly, anyway) and didn't know of its existence until now. Jan> Do you have the Sun package installed? Yes. Does that matter? I don't use the Sun sparcworks/XEmacs debugger integration. (Users here report that it eventually crashes xemacs.) Ray

Why not try it yourself? I always have used M-x gdb. I know it's a somewhat raw interface - but now it's a lot rawer. And kindof broken. Two things in particular: 1) It pauses insisting that I hit return to continue. It did not do that before. 2) It has strange garbage in the output, look: Starting program: /home/nbecker/TES/Test14 Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit--- arg-name-end =0xbffffd24) at Test14.cc:23 Jan> Do you have the Sun package installed? I'm running on Linux. I *may* have downloaded the package for sun - I don't think I am using it.

What you are describing (i.e. raw gdb with a terminal interface) is almost exactly what M-x gdb does. The displaying the source part is part of M-x gdbsrc. Apparently for you gdbsrc sort of replaces M-x gdb (or at least used to). Does it still work if you do M-x gdbsrc. If not something else is broken. Do you have the Sun package installed? Jan

I'm sure the behaviour of M-x gdb has changed, and it's not an improvement.
