There is now. Tom Tromey has kindly installed a package called gdb-mi in his Emacs Lisp Package ArchiveEmacs Lisp Package Archive (http://tromey.com/elpa/) It comprises of modified gud.el and a file called gdb-mi.el which replaces gdb-ui.el. When installed, this overrides the current files and invoking M-x gdb will use GDB/MI directly (starts with "gdb -i=mi"). When deleted ('d' followed by 'x' in Package Menu mode) the files are deleted and old functionality restored. So this provides a convenient way to review the current status/contribute to its improvement. For someone who just wants to use GDB, however, the current mode in Emacs 22 is a much better option. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
