;; command definition

;; This macro is used below to define some basic debugger interface commands.
;; Of course you may use `gud-def' with any other debugger command, including
;; user defined ones.

;; A macro call like (gud-def FUNC NAME KEY DOC) expands to a form
;; which defines FUNC to send the command NAME to the debugger, gives
;; it the docstring DOC, and binds that function to KEY in the GUD
;; major mode.  The function is also bound in the global keymap with the
;; GUD prefix.

(defmacro gud-def (func cmd key &optional doc)
  "Define FUNC to be a command sending STR and bound to KEY, with
optional doc string DOC.  Certain %-escapes in the string arguments
are interpreted specially if present.  These are:

  %f    name of current source file. 
  %l    number of current source line
  %e    text of the C lvalue or function-call expression surrounding point.
  %a    text of the hexadecimal address surrounding point
  %p    prefix argument to the command (if any) as a number

  The `current' source file is the file of the current buffer (if
we're in a C file) or the source file current at the last break or
step (if we're in the GUD buffer).
  The `current' line is that of the current buffer (if we're in a
source file) or the source line number at the last break or step (if
we're in the GUD buffer)."

;; set by the marker-filter, which scans the debugger's output for

;; Here's how it works, in case you ever need to add a debugger to the mode.
;;
;; Each entry must define the following at startup:
;;
;;<name>
;; comint-prompt-regexp
;; gud-<name>-debugger-startup
;; gud-<name>-marker-filter
;; gud-<name>-find-file
;;
;; The job of the startup-command method is to fire up a copy of the debugger,
;; given a list of debugger arguments.
;;
;; The job of the marker-filter method is to detect file/line markers in
;; strings and set the global gud-last-frame to indicate what display
;; action (if any) should be triggered by the marker.  Note that only
;; whetever the method *returns* is displayed in the buffer; thus, you
;; can filter the debugger's output, interpreting some and passing on
;; the rest.
;;
;; The job of the find-file method is to visit and return the buffer indicated
;; by the car of gud-tag-frame.  This may be a file name, a tag name, or
;; something else.

;;; When we send a command to the debugger via gud-call, it's annoying
;;; to see the command and the new prompt inserted into the debugger's
;;; buffer; we have other ways of knowing the command has completed.
;;;
;;; If the buffer looks like this:
;;; --------------------
;;; (gdb) set args foo bar
;;; (gdb) -!-
;;; --------------------
;;; (the -!- marks the location of point), and we type `C-x SPC' in a
;;; source file to set a breakpoint, we want the buffer to end up like
;;; this:
;;; --------------------
;;; (gdb) set args foo bar
;;; Breakpoint 1 at 0x92: file make-docfile.c, line 49.
;;; (gdb) -!-
;;; --------------------
;;; Essentially, the old prompt is deleted, and the command's output
;;; and the new prompt take its place.
;;;
;;; Not echoing the command is easy enough; you send it directly using
;;; process-send-string, and it never enters the buffer.  However,
;;; getting rid of the old prompt is trickier; you don't want to do it
;;; when you send the command, since that will result in an annoying
;;; flicker as the prompt is deleted, redisplay occurs while Emacs
;;; waits for a response from the debugger, and the new prompt is
;;; inserted.  Instead, we'll wait until we actually get some output
;;; from the subprocess before we delete the prompt.  If the command
;;; produced no output other than a new prompt, that prompt will most
;;; likely be in the first chunk of output received, so we will delete
;;; the prompt and then replace it with an identical one.  If the
;;; command produces output, the prompt is moving anyway, so the
;;; flicker won't be annoying.
;;;
;;; So - when we want to delete the prompt upon receipt of the next
;;; chunk of debugger output, we position gud-delete-prompt-marker at
;;; the start of the prompt; the process filter will notice this, and
;;; delete all text between it and the process output marker.  If
;;; gud-delete-prompt-marker points nowhere, we leave the current
;;; prompt alone.

(defun gud-mode ()
  "Major mode for interacting with an inferior debugger process.

   You start it up with one of the commands M-x gdb, M-x sdb, or
M-x dbx.  Each entry point finishes by executing a hook; gdb-mode-hook,
sdb-mode-hook or dbx-mode-hook respectively.

After startup, the following commands are available in both the GUD
interaction buffer and any source buffer GUD visits due to a breakpoint stop
or step operation:

\\[gud-break] sets a breakpoint at the current file and line.  In the
GUD buffer, the current file and line are those of the last breakpoint or
step.  In a source buffer, they are the buffer's file and current line.

\\[gud-remove] removes breakpoints on the current file and line.

\\[gud-refresh] displays in the source window the last line referred to
in the gud buffer.

\\[gud-step], \\[gud-next], and \\[gud-stepi] do a step-one-line,
step-one-line (not entering function calls), and step-one-instruction
and then update the source window with the current file and position.
\\[gud-cont] continues execution.

\\[gud-print] tries to find the largest C lvalue or function-call expression
around point, and sends it to the debugger for value display.

The above commands are common to all supported debuggers.

Under gdb and sdb, \\[gud-tbreak] behaves exactly like \\[gud-break],
except that the breakpoint is temporary; that is, it is removed when
execution stops on it.

Under gdb and dbx, \\[gud-up] pops up through an enclosing stack
frame.  \\[gud-down] drops back down through one.

If you are using gdb, \\[gdb-finish] runs execution to the return from
the current function and stops.

All the keystrokes above have synonyms (in the GUD buffer only) with
a prefix of C-c (this is for backward compatibility with old gdb.el).

All pre-defined functions for which the concept make sense repeat
themselves the appropriate number of times if you give a prefix
argument.

You may use the gud-def macro in the initialization hook to define other
commands.

Other commands for interacting with the debugger process are inherited from
comint mode, which see."
