Thanks.

So if i want to debug in emacs with gdb and have ide like functionality 
, giving me the ability to create breakpoint by clicking next to source 
lines or windows with updates on variables, registers , memory region 
etc then gdb must be able ta accept 'machine' like commands from the 
emacs gdb frontent.

Alexandros.

GDB/MI
