For instance, @value{GDBN} on MS-Windows will display -its windows inside a larger window, while on X on a GNU/Linux or a -Unix machine, each window is a separate toplevel window. However, -general behavior and layout is consistent across all platforms; -omissions or restrictions on particular platforms, if not documented -as unavoidable, should be considered bugs and reported. - -All @value{GDBN} windows have a common structure. Each window has an -associated menu bar, which may be at the top of the window or perhaps -elsewhere. Some of the menus and menu items in the menu bar are -common to all @value{GDBN} windows, while others are specific to -particular types of windows. Below the menu bar is the working data -area of the window. If the data is too large to display all at once, -the data area will have scroll bars on its right and bottom sides. -Below the data area are two optional features; a status/data line, and -a button box. - -@section Menus - -@subsection File Menu - -The standard file menu provides operations that affect the overall state -of @value{GDBN}, mainly file operations, but other things as well. - -@table @code -@item About @value{GDBN}... -Displays the startup window for @value{GDBN}. - -@item File... -Lets you set the combined executable and symbol file that @value{GDBN} -will use. (Like the @samp{file} command in the command-line version -of @value{GDBN}.) - -@item Target... -Brings up a dialog that you can use to connect @value{GDBN} to a -target program. The dialog is described in more depth later. (Like -the @samp{target} command.) - -@item Edit... -Starts up an editor to modify the source file being displayed. - -@item Exec File... -Lets you set the executable file that @value{GDBN} will use. -(Like the @samp{exec-file} command.) - -@item Symbol File... -Lets you set the symbol file that @value{GDBN} will use. -(Like the @samp{symbol-file} command.) - -@item Add Symbol File... -Lets you add additional symbol files. -(Like the @samp{add-symbol-file} command.) - -@item Core File... -Lets you set the core file that @value{GDBN} will use. -(Like the @samp{core-file} command.) - -@item Shared Libraries... -(Like the @samp{sharedlibrary} command.) - -@item Quit -Quits @value{GDBN}. -(Like the @samp{quit} command.) -@end table - - -@c @subsection Commands Menu - -@c The commands menu consists of items that let you run and control the program being -@c debugged. -@c -@c @table @code -@c @item Run -@c -@c @item Step -@c -@c @item Next -@c -@c @item Finish -@c -@c @item Stepi -@c -@c @item Nexti - -@subsection Windows Menu - -The @samp{Windows} menu allows access to all the windows available in -@value{GDBN}. The first part of the menu lists all of the predefined -individual windows. If the window exists already, its item will be -marked as such; selecting the item will cause the window to be put in -front if it is obscured. If it does not exist, then it will be -created. - -The second part of the menu lists additional windows that you may have -created, such as source windows or variable displays. - -@display -Command ---- -Source -Assembly ---- -Registers -Variables ---- -Files -@c --- -@c -@end display - -@subsection View Menu - -All windows have a @samp{view} menu, but its contents are highly -specific to window type. For instance, a source window will have a -view menu item to control the display of line numbers, but a register -window will instead have an option to choose the radix in which to -display register contents. You can find the full description of view -options with each window type. - -@subsection Help Menu - -The @samp{Help} menu includes access to @value{GDBN}'s online help. - -@section Windows - -@subsection Command Window - -The @samp{Command} window provides access to the standard @value{GDBN} -command interpreter. In nearly all cases, commands typed into this -window will behave exactly as for a non-windowing @value{GDBN}. - -Note that not all changes to @value{GDBN} will be reflected in this -window. For instance, if you were to type a @samp{step} command, then -click on the @samp{step} menu item in the source window, then go back, -and type another @samp{step} command, the command buffer will only -show two steps, when you have actually done three. @value{GDBN} will -put a ``@dots'' into the command buffer when operations in other -windows are done, as a reminder that the command buffer is incomplete. - -@c Also note that as a side effect of having the interface and possibly an -@c associated scripting language built in, additional commands may be -@c available. For instance, if tcl is in @value{GDBN}, the command -@c ``tcl '' will be available. - -The command window has no status line or button box. - -@subsection Files Window - -The @samp{Files} window lists all of the files that were used to build the -executable. - -Clicking on the @samp{xxx} in the left margin expands/contracts the -display of included files and symbols defined by the file. - -The @samp{View} menu for this window includes the following items: - -@table @code -@item Name/Full Pathname -@c @item Sort by Name -@c @item Sort by Section&Offset -@c @item Show All Included Files -@c @item Included File Indentation... -@end table - -@subsection Source Window - -A @samp{Source} window displays a single file of source code. - -The left margin includes an indicator for the current PC, breakpoints -and potential breakpoints, and (optionally) line numbers. - -The @samp{View} menu for this window includes the following items: - -@table @code -@item Show Line Numbers -@item Show Breakdots -@c @item Jump to PC (if pc changes, scroll back so PC is centered) -@c @item Tab... (set tabbing) -@end table - -@section Extensions - -[description of gdbtk details] - -@c -@c GDBTK Interface Design -@c -@c This is the working document describing the design of the GDBTK -@c interface. Note that overall layout applies only to the default setup; -@c it is expected that debugger users will be able to customize extensively. -@c -@c Default Startup -@c -@c One source window, shows source as in "list main", does *not* set a -@c break at main or run or anything. No current PC indicator, only put -@c in when something runs. -@c -@c Source Window -@c -@c For native, "run" button is always the same, for cross, it's actually -@c a "target" button that pops up appropriate dialog to get connected. -@c Once remote target is active, change button to "run". -@c -@c Be able to toggle assembly interleaved between source. -@c -@c Command Window -@c -@c Is an *optional* window. -@c -@c Behavior mimics command-line @value{GDBN} running in an Emacs buffer as much -@c as possible. -@c -@c Assembly Window -@c -@c Be able to toggle source interleaved between assembly. -@c -@c Target Info Window -@c -@c Contents similar to "info target". -@c -@c Should expand into process and thread info also. -@c -@c File Info Window -@c -@c Contents similar to "info files". -@c -@c Include data shown in "info sources" as well as "info files". -@c -@c Register Info Window -@c -@c Contents similar to "info registers". -@c -@c Add view option(s) for classes of registers. -@c -@c Stack Info Window -@c -@c Combines backtrace, frame, and local var displays. -@c -@c Signals Dialog -@c -@c Includes all signals whose handling may be controlled, plus -@c checkboxes for what to do with each. -@c -@c Settings Dialog(s) -@c -@c Include all variables that can be "set" and "show"n. -@c -@c General Principles -@c -@c All windows should have a menu that allows access to other windows. -@c Selection of item either brings up for first time or brings to front. -@c -@c All windows should have a "view" menu that controls formatting -@c options for that window. -@c -@c Windows should usually be scrollable. Windows that display largish -@c horizontal things should be horizontal and vertical scrollbars. -@c -@c To do standard modification, add commands or tcl code to .gdbtkinit. -@c -@c Be able to record window positions so they come up in the same way -@c the next time. Could scribble on .gdbtkinit perhaps, or else an -@c aux file that can be sourced by .gdbtkinit. - -@section How to Build - -If @value{GDBN} is configured with @samp{--enable-gdbtk}, then upon -startup, it will open windows. - -@node Index -@unnumbered Index - -@printindex cp - -@contents -@bye -- cgit v1.2.1
