The functions that actually cause Emacs to write something to the
terminal are write_glyphs, insert_glyphs, delete_glyphs, and
cursor_to and clear_end_of_line. You will see them called from
update_frame_line in several places. Either put a breakpoint at each
of those places, with the following breakpoint commands:
(gdb) commands
> continue
> end
or put breakpoints _in_ those functions, with the following
breakpoint commands:
(gdb) commands
> bt 2
> continue
> end
The "bt 2" part will allow to see with what vpos argument was
update_frame_line called, so it will be easy to see which portions of
the screen we are redrawing. You are looking for calls that
successively redraw several screen lines, preferably in the text area,
not the mode line.
Thanks.
