24.2; M-x gud-gdb on remote binary does not work |
|

Wed, 5 Sep 2012 17:49:15 +0200 |
How to reproduce the problem:
prompt$ emacs --eval '(toggle-debug-on-error)'
then within emacs visit directory with some binary You want to debug
on some remote machine (my remote machine is running RH6, but
it probably does not matter) and issue:
M-x gud-gdb: theBinary
You will receive following error:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable gdb-active-process)
(if gdb-active-process "Continue" "Run")
Please DO NOT try to issue `M-x gdb` before, because this hides the problem.

Thanks. I installed a fix for this, which is not restricted to remote
binaries, but does only show up when debug-on-error is non-nil.
