Re: xemacs/gdb integration?

From: "Aakre, Louise" <louise.aakre(a)attws.com&gt; Date: Tue, 13 Oct 1998 16:46:59 -0700 Does an xemacs/gdb integration exist? Sure, ``M-x gdb'' is my debugging environment of choice for C/C++ coding. If so, can you point me to a web page or faq with info? Unfortunately I can't. I just poked around in the XEmacs info stuff (C-h i m xemacs RET), but could find anything significant. I've attached an excerpt from the top of .../lib/xemacs-20.4/lisp/comint/gdb.el from the XEmacs 20.4 distribution in the hopes that it might get you started. Rick ;; Description of GDB interface: ;; A facility is provided for the simultaneous display of the source code ;; in one window, while using gdb to step through a function in the ;; other. A small arrow in the source window, indicates the current ;; line. ;; Starting up: ;; In order to use this facility, invoke the command GDB to obtain a ;; shell window with the appropriate command bindings. You will be asked ;; for the name of a file to run. Gdb will be invoked on this file, in a ;; window named *gdb-foo* if the file is foo. ;; M-s steps by one line, and redisplays the source file and line. ;; You may easily create additional commands and bindings to interact ;; with the display. For example to put the gdb command next on \M-n ;; (def-gdb next "\M-n") ;; This causes the emacs command gdb-next to be defined, and runs ;; gdb-display-frame after the command. ;; gdb-display-frame is the basic display function. It tries to display ;; in the other window, the file and line corresponding to the current ;; position in the gdb window. For example after a gdb-step, it would ;; display the line corresponding to the position for the last step. Or ;; if you have done a backtrace in the gdb buffer, and move the cursor ;; into one of the frames, it would display the position corresponding to ;; that frame. ;; gdb-display-frame is invoked automatically when a filename-and-line-number ;; appears in the output.
