- Subject: Emacs mode for gdb
I have written a mode for Emacs that allows it to act as a GUI for GDB
(gdb-ui.el) that has recently gone into the Emacs repository
(http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs). It is based on an earlier file
called gdba.el that was once part of the GDB distribution. I understand that
this file was written mainly by Jim Kingdon but in it there is a comment about
the queuing used:
;; Note: Stuff enqueued here will be sent to the next prompt, even if it
;; is a query, or other non-top-level prompt. To guarantee stuff will get
;; sent to the top-level prompt, currently it must be put in the idle queue.
;; ^^^^^^^^^
;; [This should encourage gdb extensions that invoke gdb commands to let
;; the user go first; it is not a bug. -t]
;;
Does anyone know what these 'gdb extensions' are or why two queues (high and
low priority) are needed ? Or who 't' is ?
