M-x gdb doesn't work anymore with Emacs 23.1.50.1

M-x gdb doesn't work anymore with Emacs 23.1.50.1

[Francis Moreau]

Hello,

In my previous life (Emacs 22), I used to call gdb within emacs by
using "M-x gdb" where emacs was running in console mode.

Now doing the same still in console mode, I get: "Cannot open load
file: gdb-ui".

Doing "M-x gud-gdb" still works but I'd like to use the emacs debugger
interface.

Could anybody help me ?

Thanks

The file gdb-ui.el has been replaced by gdb-mi.el.  You've probably got
an old/inconsistent autoloads file (loaddefs.el).  Try rebuilding from
scratch with "make bootstrap".

You were right !

But it still doesn't work: now when starting gdb and putting a
breakpoint in a specific function like this:

(gdb) b animation_stop
Breakpoint 1 at 0x2985dcfe: file core.c, line 518.
(gdb) list :1
No source file named .

and the breakpoint seems to be not set since the program is never
stopped. Of course doing the same in a terminal works, except I
haven't passed the '-i=mi' switch.

One other thing I noticed, is that I have an alias on my gdb command:

alias gdb='gdb -x ~/.mygdbinit'

but it looks like when emacs is starting gdb, it ignores the alias.

Thanks

I've installed the patch which fixes that.

This code is under development, see http://emacswiki.org/emacs/GDB-MI/.

I don't think that Emacs considers your aliases when running external
programs. Customize `gud-gdb-command-name` if you wish.

hmm, sorry but I don't understand, what do you mean by this:

Have your patch already hit emacs CVS repo ? or is the patch currently
only in the hg repo and in that case could you give me the revision of
the commit which fixes it ?

Well, that sad. It's typically where emacs should consider any
aliases...

BTW, I also noticed that emacs already does the wrong thing with 'M-x
dirs' in shell mode. In that case it considers alias where it
shouldn't since this command relies on the output of dirs(1) without
any options.

thanks
