Re: gdb doesn't show source code at debugging

Your packages are old; gdb.el is part of the debug package, whose release version is 1.18 (this may be in prerelease), but yours is at 1.17. xemacs-base is currently at 2.05 or later, but you have 2.01 installed. John> In emacs 22.0.50.1 I do not observe such problem. You're debugging the same code with XEmacs and with GNU Emacs, and it's not stripped, preferably compiled with gcc -g, right? Even if so, this is not particularly surprising, since the Emacs version and the XEmacs version for gdb.el and comint.el haven't been synch'ed in a long time. There is currently work in progress to that end, though, which is only partially done. I'm not sure how much of that work has already been incorporated in the distribution; the intent is only to add code that has been debugged, but it's not always easy to tell. XEmacs 21.4 is unlikely to change in ways that affect gdb, but the related packages are known to be in flux. I recommend that you upgrade at least the debug (for gdb.el and friends) and xemacs-base packages (for comint.el). -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
