GDB doesn't respond BREAK etc commands

GDB doesn't respond BREAK etc commands

[thorn101]

Hi,

While using gdb under emacs C-c C-c (BREAK) or C-c C-z (STOP) don't seem to
work.
The application that I'm debugging keeps running, only thing that partially
works is using KILL from the menu, but then I can't get the gud prompt back.

When using any of the commands (other than KILL), they just get echoed back
to the gud.

So every time I have to stop the debugged application from running I'm
forced to kill the entire gdb buffer and restart it again with /M-x gdb/.

I'm using emacs 24.3 and gdb 7.5 and issuing the /M-x gdb -i=mi myApp/

How can I fix this.

Thanks,
Alex

Try "M-x gud-gdb RET" instead.  (You will loose the pretty GUI, if you
use gdb-many-windows.)

Thanks it works now, but why?.
Is it a bug?

gud-gdb invokes a different interface, not the MI interface you used.

Probably.  Better report this with "M-x report-emacs-bug RET".
