problem with gdb / gud

[Geof Sawaya]

Hi Devs --

I recently built Emacs 24.5.1, and was using gdb 7.9.1 with python extensions.

When I begin a gdb session and run the 'pi' command (which puts gdb in
python interpreter mode), there's a problem with '-interpreter-exec
console xxx' -- SyntaxError.

Please see my post here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/34305533/1607640

Does anyone have advice for a (quick) fix or can point me to a release
without this issue?

Also, would it be more constructive to post an issue here:
https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs?

Many thanks -- Geof

This was never supported, AFAIK.  Now it is, if you use the latest
emacs-25 branch.

Thanks for reporting this.
