GDB "print" to echo area

GDB "print" to echo area

[Juanma]

Hello,

Is there a configurable way to make GDB's 'print' command send output to the
echo area, instead or in addition to the *gdb* window?

If the answer is 'no', can I define a GDB command that would do that?

Or the only way is hacking GUD's code?

Thanks.

No.

No.  The output to all GDB commands typed in the GUD buffer goes to the GUD
buffer.  Emacs doesn't know what they do, it just provides the terminal/pipe.

You could write a lisp function that uses gdb-enqueue-input and a handler
but I'm not sure that it's worth it.  I find the GUD buffer a convenient
place to have a log of the debug session.
