Re: gdb-ui and Mac OS X

Hi Nick,

Here is what I'm seeing when I do "gdb -ann=3 a.out":

GNU gdb 5.3-20030128 (Apple version gdb-309) (Thu Dec 4 15:41:30 GMT 2003)

Reading symbols for shared libraries .. done

breakpoints-invalid

frames-invalid

pre-prompt
(gdb)
prompt


There are no ^Zs on the screen or anything like that, but I do appear to be getting the various text elements you're getting. Also, if I send the output to a file and hexl the file, the ^Zs are there, so it appears to just be a display thing.

Thanks for looking into this - very hopeful about getting this working... :)

Thats right, or you can just use M-x gdb with the current version in CVS.

This shouldn't happen. Something has clearly gone wrong. It may be that
your version of gdb isn't generating a full set of annotations. If you
type "gdb -ann=3 a.out" in an xterm you should get something like:

GNU gdb 5.2.1-2mdk (Mandrake Linux)

^Z^Zbreakpoints-invalid

^Z^Zframes-invalid


^Z^Zpre-prompt
(gdb)
^Z^Zprompt

The ^Z characters might be printed differently but you need the pre-prompt and
prompt annotations. What do you get?
