how to use "gud-def"

how to use "gud-def"

[Rafal Kurcz]

Hello
I found in "GUD Customization" section the description of "gud-def".
In fact I don't know where to place those definitions.

I tried to specify the example definition:
(gud-def gud-run "run" nil "Run the program.")

in ~/.emacs config file - it did not not work

I don't think I should add them directly to the:
/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/gud.el

Where can I define them ?

Thank you for help

This is the right place for it.  What do you mean by "it did not not work"?
This definition (which looks like it's taken from Emacs 22.1 - why not just use
that version as it's current?) doesn't provide a keybinding.  With Emacs 21.4,
you need to do M-x gud-run.  With 22.1 there's a tool bar icon you can click on
or you can use the menu-bar.

On further reflection, perhaps you didn't do:

(add-hook 'gdb-mode-hook
	  '(lambda ()
	     (gud-def gud-run "run" nil "Run the program.")))
