Hi,
for example in ChangeLog.12, line 2470, it's written
(gdb-stack-buffer, gdb-frames-select): Use it.
Does the term "Use it" have a special meaning with
respect to execution? Does it mean something like implicit?
Thanks
Andreas

Huh? I don't understand a word of what you are saying. What execution?
And what meaning of "implicit"? Try harder to make at least a minimum
amount of sense.
Anyway, the ChangeLog entry is quite clear if you read it in context:
(gdb-max-frames): New variable.
(gdb-stack-buffer, gdb-frames-select): Use it.
This means that a new variable gdb-max-frames has been introduced, and
that the functions gdb-stack-buffer and gdb-frames-select have been
changed to make use of this new variable.

You've put it out of context. The complete ChangeLog entry is as
follows:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
2007-01-21 Nick Roberts <nickrob@snap.net.nz>
* progmodes/gdb-ui.el (gdb-var-create-regexp)
(gdb-var-create-handler): Handle value field in GDB output of
-var-create.
(gdb-max-frames): New variable.
(gdb-stack-buffer, gdb-frames-select): Use it.
(gdb-info-stack-custom): Help user customize gdb-max-frames,
if necessary.
(gdb-get-frame-number): Simplify.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So before the "Use it" line, a new variable `gdb-max-frames' was
introduced. The two functions `gdb-stack-buffer' and
`gdb-frames-select' were changed to *use it* then.
Bye,
Tassilo

Thanks,
so I understand: *use it* relates to newly introduced forms upward the
current line.
Was not obvious for me, sorry. :)
