It is based on an earlier file called gdba.el that was once part of the GDB distribution. I understand that this file was written mainly by Jim Kingdon but in it there is a comment about the queuing used: ;; Note: Stuff enqueued here will be sent to the next prompt, even if it ;; is a query, or other non-top-level prompt. To guarantee stuff will get ;; sent to the top-level prompt, currently it must be put in the idle queue. ;; ^^^^^^^^^ ;; [This should encourage gdb extensions that invoke gdb commands to let ;; the user go first; it is not a bug. -t] ;; Does anyone know what these 'gdb extensions' are or why two queues (high and low priority) are needed ? Or who 't' is ? Nick Roberts
