If your question is about the "3", I can't tell you exactly but it's related to the level of depiction GDB issues when running a program. If it's about the "annotate", I read from the GDB info page: "The annotation LEVEL, which is specified using the `--annotate' command line option (*note Mode Options::), controls how much information GDB prints together with its prompt, values of expressions, source lines, and other types of output. Level 0 is for no annotations, level 1 is for use when GDB is run as a subprocess of GNU Emacs, level 3 is the maximum annotation suitable for programs that control GDB, and level 2 annotations have been made obsolete (*note Limitations of the Annotation Interface: (annotate)Limitations.)."
