Subject: gdb assembler no '=>' arrow in source
Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 13:03:21 +0200

Hi,

(using emacs 24.2.1)

When debugging an assembler program using gdb within emacs, there is no
arrow pointing to the current line in my source file.  Everything else
works properly (stepping, etc.):

* (gdb) disas
* M-x gdb-disassembly-buffer
* (gdb) si
* etc.


The file was compiled with:

=nasm -g -f elf32 foo.s - o foo.o=
=ld foo.o -o foo=

(using nasm 2.10.05)


gdb was invoked with

M-x gdb -i=mi foo

(using gdb 7.5.1)

The debugging session starts successfully, with "Reading symbols ... done.".


When activating one of the gdb buffers, the menu bar changes (to
gud-gdb, I assume), but not so when activating the source buffer.


On stackoverflow.com it was suggested to use an older version of nasm
(why?) as the same problem was encountered.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10269537/setting-breakpoints-in-gdb-many-window-no-visual-cursor

(did not try).


Any help is appreciated.
Markus

(This bug report unfortunately got no response at the time.)

Are you still seeing this issue with more recent versions of Emacs (and
nasm)?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.
