This chapter describes annotations in GDB. Annotations were designed to interface GDB to graphical user interfaces or other similar programs which want to interact with GDB at a relatively high level.
The annotation mechanism has largely been superseded by GDB/MI (see GDB/MI).
• Annotations Overview: | What annotations are; the general syntax. | |
• Server Prefix: | Issuing a command without affecting user state. | |
• Prompting: | Annotations marking GDB’s need for input. | |
• Errors: | Annotations for error messages. | |
• Invalidation: | Some annotations describe things now invalid. | |
• Annotations for Running: | Whether the program is running, how it stopped, etc. | |
• Source Annotations: | Annotations describing source code. |
