Subject: bug#13569: 24.3.50; gdb-control-commands-regexp has a typo
Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2013 13:21:00 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <qtm622iiapv.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
I use latest bzr trunk and emacs-24 branches on linux.
I believe the following patch should be applied to remove "s" from
"commands" portion of a regexp:

"Regexp matching GDB commands that enter a recursive reading loop.
Why? Because without this change, gdb fails to handle the command
"command" incorrectly. gdb's "command" allows one to associate a gdb
command sequence with a breakpoint. Following is how it should work
to add "print foo" command for breakpoint number 2 while debugging a C
program:
(gdb) command 2
print foo
end
(gdb)
where as soon as "end" is typed, "command" should be terminated and
"(gdb) " prompt printed. Instead of this what happens is that "(gdb)
" prompt is never printed and it acts as if "end" is not treated as
the terminating special command, i.e., this is what I see:
(gdb) command 2
print foo
end
At this point gdb seems hung. The only way to get back the gdb prompt
is to hit Control-C twice.
This bug has been around for several weeks at least on both emacs-24
and trunk bzr branchs of emacs.
