By "no matter what I answer, do you mean you tried both "y RET" and "n RET", and the question is repeated regardless? I don't have access to a system with a new enough GDB where debuginfod is enabled, so I need you to please test the possible solutions. First, if you invoke GDB from the shell's prompt in the same way, i.e. $ gdb -i=mi ./emacs does it then ask the same question?

Can you show me the entire output of this session invoked from the shell's prompt, up to and including the reaction to your "y RET" response? Next, can you enable gdb-enable-debug minor mode, and post the contents of gdb-debug-log (formatted with pp, please) after these questions are asked and you answer them? Finally, if you add the following line to your ~/.gdbinit, does the problem go away? set debuginfod enabled on (If you don't have a ~/.gdbinit file, create it and add this single line to it.) With this line, GDB should not ask the question at all. Thanks. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

If this is a recent problem, did it start > happening because you upgraded to a newer GDB version? $ gdb --version GNU gdb (Ubuntu 12.1-3ubuntu2) 12.1 I never really use 'M-x gdb', all the time before I just used it from the terminal. But I saw some recent GDB related post on Reddit where you asked for bug reports and decided to give it a try. What I _can_ say, though, is that Emacs 25-28 all behave the same way. All that as long as my src/.gdbinit is added with add-auto-load-safe-path in ~/.config/gdb/gdbinit. Without it, 'M-x gdb' can start Emacs, but then all the special commands are unavailable, of course. > By "no matter what I answer, do you mean you tried both "y RET" and > "n RET", and the question is repeated regardless?

After I do that, it doesn't ask me anything anymore.

This confirms my suspicion: we don't recognize the situation where GDB waits for a response, and interpret your "y" response as a GDB command. So we send it as a command: that's what the "-interpreter-exec console" thing is about. So GDB waits for "y" or "n", but gets "-interpreter-exec console \"y\"". We need to teach gdb-mi.el to recognize these prompts. Will look into that. > > Finally, if you add the following line to your ~/.gdbinit, does the > > problem go away? > > > > set debuginfod enabled on > > That helps. 'set debuginfod enabled off' also works. Yes, anything other than "ask" (which is the default). This will serve as a workaround until the solution is found and installed. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

First of all, though, it sends the debuginfod-related prompt to me 12 times. I'm guessing that's because there is some scenario running internally that tries to send some other commands to GDB while it's waiting for a particular response (y/n), so it repeats the question 11 times instead of reacting to those commands. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Could you please try the patch below? I don't have access to a system where GDB can actually download the files from debuginfod servers, so I could test this only partially.

With 't', I even see a small delay when launching the process, presumably from contacting some debuginfo server. I haven't been able to verify that the debuginfo stuff is actually working (nor sure where to look), but the basic functionality is now okay. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Apparently, if you do: set debuginfo verbose 1 (probably in your ~/.gdbinit file or somesuch, so that it is set from the beginning of the session), it is supposed to show you messages about downloading. But this is documented to be 1 by default, so maybe you don't see it because gdb-mi.el "swallows" those messages? Try from the shell prompt and see if you get any messages. They are supposed to begin with "Downloading". I think the download will only happen if you debug a program whose sources and/or debug info are not available locally. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
