I see that the GUD menu also hangs around after quitting gdb.
Well, I don't know if they are gdb (the program) problems or gdba (the mode)
problems. I just upgraded gdb to 5.2.1.
For example, I do:
M-x gdba
Run gdba (like this): gdb -annotate=2 emacs
(The -annotate=2 is put there by gdba).
Then the .gdbinit puts two breakpoints, nr 2 in emacs.c and gdba loads
that file. This is kind of annoying since I had the file I wanted to
debug visible, but now it is buried. But this is not the big bug.
If I go to a C file and do C-x C-v C-a (set breakpoint), here is what
the *gud-emacs* buffer prints:
breakpoint keep y 0x0810585c in abort at emacs.c:412
2 breakpoint keep y 0x080db76f ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---
in x_error_quitter at xterm.c:12727
I typed return at "quit---"
No break point is set. This "--- Type <return> ..." pops up at a lot
of places, for example when running the program:
(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/jhd/src/emacs-gtk/src/emacs -geometry 80x40+0+0
Breakpoint 4, main (argc=3, argv
---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---
\x1a\x1aarg-name-end
=0xbffff434) at emacs.c:781
(gdb)

Is gdb-quit supposed to be run manually? It is not run if I type q
at the (gdb) prompt.

When you wan't to see the source in a context, it is better that the
command line.
