Re: Emacs and GDB

["Kris Warkentin" <kewarken@qnx.com>]

Another place you might like to look is the sources for DDD.  The file
'Agent.C' does the setup of the pty with the pipes and dups and all the
other fun stuff.  You can also look at some of it's subclasses such as
AsyncAgent which modify the behaviour somewhat.  A cool thing with DDD
(maybe emacs too?) is that you can access the gdb console and use 'show
args' to see how they setup the command line with the redirection and so on.

cheers,

Kris
