I normally use gdb under Emacs to debug Emacs. To do that, I run Emacs in= the=20 source directory, type the command "M-x gud-gdb RET bootstrap-emacs RET" = to get=20 GDB running on a subsidiary instance of Emacs, type the GDB command "b=20 Fexpand_file_name" to plant a breakpoint in (say) Fexpand_file_name, and = then=20 type the GDB command "r" to run the Emacs being debugged.
