I'm experiencing problems attaching commands to breakpoints with
gdb/gud. I reproduced this using emacs -q. I also tried to reproduce the
same behaviour with gdb running inside the terminal, but it did not
occur, therefore I blame Emacs. ;)

After M-x gdb, I wrote approximately this (unimportant parts elided):

(gdb) br phy_device.c:579
Breakpoint 2 at 0xc029c468: file drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c, line 579.
(gdb) commands
Type commands for breakpoint(s) 2, one per line.
End with a line saying just "end".
info args
>>>>>info locals
>p/x phy_id
>p bus->id
>if addr < 31
 >cont
 >end
>end
(gdb) i br
2       breakpoint     keep y   0xc029c468 in get_phy_device at drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c:579
	breakpoint already hit 1 time
        info args
        41-stack-info-frame --thread 2
        42-thread-info --thread 2
        43-break-list
        info locals
        p/x phy_id
        p bus->id
        if addr < 31
          cont
        end
(gdb) 

What's the deal with these three lines?

        41-stack-info-frame --thread 2
        42-thread-info --thread 2
        43-break-list

Best,

Moritz

I tried to reproduce this, but couldn't.  Please tell what is your GDB
version.  Also, can you provide a complete recipe, including a program
to debug, and all the steps needed to reproduce the issue, preferably
starting from "emacs -Q"?

(The additional commands are commands injected by gdb-mi.el to allow
Emacs display of various information: call-stack, thread information,
etc.  But they shouldn't appear in the commands you specified for your
breakpoints, so this is still some kind of problem.  I cannot
reproduce it, though.)

Thanks.

The program I'm debugging is a Linux kernel on an ARM SoC over a serial
link. We're using an older version of buildroot to build everything
(planning to switch to something newer, which would also bring a newer
gdb version), but for now we're stuck with this:

$ cat bin/kernelgdb
#!/bin/sh
BR=~/src/buildroot
exec ${BR}/output/host/usr/bin/arm-buildroot-linux-musleabi-gdb ${BR}/output/images/vmlinux -b 115200 -ex "target remote localhost:4441" "$@"

With agent-proxy running on localhost 4440^4441.

$ exec ${BR}/output/host/usr/bin/arm-buildroot-linux-musleabi-gdb
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.10.1
Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
...
This GDB was configured as "--host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --target=arm-buildroot-linux-musleabi".
...

             --with-auto-load-safe-path=$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load

             --without-babeltrace

("Relocatable" means the directory can be moved with the GDB installation
tree, and GDB will still find it.)
(gdb)

Is there a minimum required gdb version for gdb-mi to work correctly?

For now, I've switched back to gud-gdb without MI, which seems to work
better on my setup but I'm somewhat invested in the future of gdb/gud
and I think MI is a step in the right direction, so please let me know
if you need any more information.

Best regards,

Moritz

GDB 7.0, AFAIK.  But it's possible that some features need a newer
GDB.

If you invoke GDB from the shell with -i=mi, can you reproduce the
problem?

Also, do these commands appear in "info break" output right after you
define the breakpoint, or do you need the breakpoint to break a few
times before that happens?

I'll try this as soon as we get this kernel update out of the door.

I did one debug session last week with manually running gdb -i=mi to
verify whether this is the case, and console gdb did not insert these
commands so my debugging session ran without problems.

I also noticed that Linux console output takes the following form on my
setup:
@"console message from the kernel"
These show up in the terminal, but not in gdb-mi inside Emacs, making
Linux debugging with gdb-mi a bit cumbersome at the moment. I think this
is the format that's described in (info "(gdb) GDB/MI Stream Records").

I'll check on Monday. I think they appeared right away but I might be
wrong.


Best regards,

Moritz

Does it perhaps appear in the I/O window?

There's also an unused gdbmi-bnf-target-stream-output, maybe you could
use it for this.

More information was requested a year ago, but apparently wasn't given,
so I'm closing this bug report.
