Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Allow check-mark to be changed for CLI
Date: Fri, 09 May 2025 14:18:51 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250509-emoji-check-mark-v1-2-63b6c52411f3@adacore.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250509-emoji-check-mark-v1-0-63b6c52411f3@adacore.com>
In keeping with the emojification of gdb, this patch changes the
default "current" marker to be a check-mark. It adds a knob to allow
the character to be changed, and, as always, reverts to the old output
when emojis are disabled.
