Package: emacs Version: 23.1.50.11 (This is the CVS HEAD version of emacs.) I tried M-x gdb to run emacs under gdb. The command line was gdb -i=mi ~/src/emacs/src/emacs and I got the error '(json-object-format ":" 44). Here is the backtrace: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (json-object-format ":" 44) signal(json-object-format (":" 44)) json-read-object() apply(json-read-object nil) json-read() json-read-object() apply(json-read-object nil) json-read() json-read-array() apply(json-read-array nil) json-read() json-read-object() apply(json-read-object nil) json-read() json-read-object() apply(json-read-object nil) json-read() json-partial-output("bkpt") gdb-breakpoints-list-handler-custom() gdb-breakpoints-list-handler() gdb-done-or-error("BreakpointTable={nr_rows=\"2\",nr_cols=\"6\",hdr=[{width=\"7\",alignment=\... gud-gdbmi-marker-filter("colhdr=\"Address\"},{width=\"40\",alignment=\"2\",col_name=\"what\",... apply(gud-gdbmi-marker-filter "colhdr=\"Address\"},{width=\"40\",alignment=\"2\",col_name=\"w... gud-marker-filter("colhdr=\"Address\"},{width=\"40\",alignment=\"2\",col_name=\"what\",colhdr... gud-filter(# "colhdr=\"Address\"},{width=\"40\",alignment=\"2\",col_name=\... The content of buffer *partial-output-emacs* is attached, evaluating (let ((json-array-type 'list)) (json-read)) reproduces the error. The above expression is the last one of `json-partial-output' in gdb-mi.el Regards, Guanpeng Xu _________________________________________________________________ Drag n’ drop—Get easy photo sharing with Windows Live™ Photos. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowslive/products/photos.aspx
