+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; The ancestral gdb.el was by W. Schelter <wfs@rascal.ics.utexas.edu>
+;; It was later rewritten by rms.  Some ideas were due to Masanobu. 
+;; Grand Unification (sdb/dbx support) by Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>
+;; The overloading code was then rewritten by Barry Warsaw <bwarsaw@cen.com>,
+;; who also hacked the mode to use comint.el.  Shane Hartman <shane@spr.com>
+;; added support for xdb (HPUX debugger).  Rick Sladkey <jrs@world.std.com>
+;; wrote the GDB command completion code.  Dave Love <d.love@dl.ac.uk>
+;; added the IRIX kluge and re-implemented the Mips-ish variant.
+;; Then hacked by Per Bothner <bothner@cygnus.com> to use term.el.

+;; command definition
+
+;; This macro is used below to define some basic debugger interface commands.
+;; Of course you may use `tgud-def' with any other debugger command, including
+;; user defined ones.
+
+;; A macro call like (tgud-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 TGUD
+;; major mode.  The function is also bound in the global keymap with the
+;; TGUD prefix.
+
+(defmacro tgud-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 (without directory) of current source file. 
+  %d	directory 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 TGUD 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 TGUD buffer)."

+
+;; All debugger-specific information is collected here.
+;; Here's how it works, in case you ever need to add a debugger to the mode.

+;; term-prompt-regexp
+;; tgud-<name>-massage-args
+;; tgud-<name>-marker-filter
+;; tgud-<name>-find-file
+;;
+;; The job of the massage-args method is to modify the given list of
+;; debugger arguments before running the debugger.
+;;
+;; The job of the marker-filter method is to detect file/line markers in
+;; strings and set the global term-pending-frame to indicate what display
+;; action (if any) should be triggered by the marker.  Note that only
+;; whatever 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 tgud-tag-frame.  This may be a file name, a tag name, or
+;; something else.

+;;; When we send a command to the debugger via tgud-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 term-pending-delete-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
+;;; term-pending-delete-marker points nowhere, we leave the current
+;;; prompt alone.

+or M-x xdb.  Each entry point finishes by executing a hook; `gdb-mode-hook',
+`sdb-mode-hook', `dbx-mode-hook' or `xdb-mode-hook' respectively.
+
+After startup, the following commands are available in both the TGUD
+interaction buffer and any source buffer TGUD visits due to a breakpoint stop
+or step operation:
+
+\\[tgud-break] sets a breakpoint at the current file and line.  In the
+TGUD 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.
+
+\\[tgud-remove] removes breakpoints on the current file and line.
+
+\\[tgud-refresh] displays in the source window the last line referred to
+in the tgud buffer.
+
+\\[tgud-step], \\[tgud-next], and \\[tgud-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.
+\\[tgud-cont] continues execution.
+
+\\[tgud-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 except xdb which
+does not support stepping instructions.
+
+Under gdb, sdb and xdb, \\[tgud-tbreak] behaves exactly like \\[tgud-break],
+except that the breakpoint is temporary; that is, it is removed when
+execution stops on it.
+
+Under gdb, dbx, and xdb, \\[tgud-up] pops up through an enclosing stack
+frame.  \\[tgud-down] drops back down through one.
+
+If you are using gdb or xdb, \\[tgud-finish] runs execution to the return from
+the current function and stops.
+
+All the keystrokes above are accessible in the TGUD buffer
+with the prefix C-c, and in all buffers through the prefix C-x C-a.
+
+All pre-defined functions for which the concept make sense repeat
+themselves the appropriate number of times if you give a prefix
+argument.
