Does it mean something like implicit? You've put it out of context. The complete ChangeLog entry is as follows: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 2007-01-21 Nick Roberts * 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
