Right now, it seems that if gdb is not started with "--annotate=2" gdba just "freezes" (typing stuff at gdb prompt leads nowhere). I understand that with "gdb --fullname foo" most things won't work, but I'd like to slowly merge M-x gdb and M-x gdba, so I think that the gdba code should be made to work even if the underlying gdb process is not configured as expected: it should then behave more or less like M-x gdb does. > > BTW, note all the spurious `Mark set' and `Replaced 0 occurrences' > > messages (I never set the mark or did any replacing) -- it looks like > > some lisp code is using the `replace-string' function when it shouldn't > > (generally lisp code shouldn't use it at all). > > I'm using replace-regexp which I know I shouldn't.
