It appears, though, that there are fewer buttons in the debug > toolbar when the debugger is started with gdb than when it is started with gud-gdb. Try "M-x gdb-many-windows RET", maybe you will like the result. > Eli, which function is the entry point for the bidi module? Where should I set a breakpoint for starters? The entry point is bidi_get_next_char_visually. (See the beginning of bidi.c for this and other information.) However, setting a simple breakpoint there will cause that breakpoint be hit all the time, and will therefore be useless. Tell me what you want to do and with what text, and then I might be able to help you do that in a more useful way.
