|

|
||||
This file describes a graphical interface to @value{GDBN},
|
||||
the GNU symbolic debugger.
|
||||
|
||||
@node Invocation
|
||||
@chapter Starting up GUI @value{GDBN}
|
||||
|
||||
If @value{GDBN} has been configured to use the graphical interface,
|
||||
then you will get the interface automatically upon startup.
|
||||
|
||||
When running as a Unix program and using the X11-based interface,
|
||||
you must of course be using an X server and/or workstation,
|
||||
and your @code{DISPLAY} environment variable must be set correctly.
|
||||
If either of these is not true, then @value{GDBN} will still start up,
|
||||
zbut will use only the traditional command interface.
|
||||
|
||||
The exact layout and appearance of the windows will depend on the host
|
||||
system type. 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.
|
||||
|
||||

||||

|

|
||||
@c <extra windows>
|
||||
@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 <tcl code>'' 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

@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.
