[Commit] New file


New elisp file which provides a graphical user interface to GDB for Emacs.
This file uses GDB/MI as the primary interface to GDB. It is still under
development and is part of a process to migrate Emacs from annotations
(as used in gdb-ui.el) to GDB/MI. It requires Emacs in the CVS repository
soon to be released (as Emacs 21.4?)

	* gdb-mi.el: New file.

;;; gdb-mi.el (internally gdbmi6.el) - (24th May 2004)

;; Run gdb with GDB/MI (-interp=mi) and access CLI using "cli-command"
;; (could use "-interpreter-exec console cli-command")

;;; Commentary:

;; This mode acts as a graphical user interface to GDB and requires GDB 6.1
;; onwards. You can interact with GDB through the GUD buffer in the usual way,
;; but there are also buffers which control the execution and describe the
;; state of your program. It separates the input/output of your program from
;; that of GDB and displays expressions and their current values in their own
;; buffers. It also uses features of Emacs 21 such as the fringe/display
;; margin for breakpoints, and the toolbar (see the GDB Graphical Interface
;; section in the Emacs info manual).

;; Start the debugger with M-x gdbmi.

;; This file uses GDB/MI as the primary interface to GDB. It is still under
;; development and is part of a process to migrate Emacs from annotations
;; (as used in gdb-ui.el) to GDB/MI.

;; Known Bugs:

  "Run gdb on program FILE in buffer *gud-FILE*.
The directory containing FILE becomes the initial working directory
and source-file directory for your debugger.

If `gdb-many-windows' is nil (the default value) then gdb just
pops up the GUD buffer unless `gdb-show-main' is t. In this case
it starts with two windows: one displaying the GUD buffer and the
other with the source file with the main routine of the inferior.

If `gdb-many-windows' is t, regardless of the value of
`gdb-show-main', the layout below will appear. Keybindings are
given in relevant buffer.

Watch expressions appear in the speedbar/slowbar.

The following interactive lisp functions help control operation :

`gdb-many-windows'    - Toggle the number of windows gdb uses.
`gdb-restore-windows' - To restore the window layout.

See Info node `(emacs)GDB Graphical Interface' for a more
detailed description of this mode.
