[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I have a followup gdb 101 question:

I thought I would improve the debug capability by adding the flags
"--enable-checking='yes,glyphs' --enable-check-lisp-object-type" to
./configure as per etc/DEBUG. I did not have those 2 flags earlier. But
after rebuilding using the suggested options, the conditional breakpoints
do not work. I also noticed that earlier "p error_symbol" gave something
like,

$1 = 41328

Now it gives something like,

$1 = {
  i = 41328
}

Also, when earlier I saw:

    Breakpoint 3, Fsignal (error_symbol=19056, data=16197139) at eval.c:1471

, now I see instead:

    Breakpoint 3, Fsignal (error_symbol=..., data=...) at eval.c:1471

(those numbers for error_symbol and data are literally replaced with "...")

=====

}

Here's my new ./configure command:

./configure options:
  --with-modules --prefix=/home/kmodi/usr_local/apps/6/emacs/emacs-25
--enable-checking=yes,glyphs --enable-check-lisp-object-type
'CPPFLAGS=-fgnu89-inline -I/home/kmodi/usr_local/6/include
-I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include' 'CFLAGS=-ggdb3 -O0'
'CXXFLAGS=-ggdb3 -O0' 'LDFLAGS=-L/home/kmodi/usr_local/6/lib
-L/home/kmodi/usr_local/6/lib64 -ggdb3'
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/kmodi/usr_local/6/lib/pkgconfig:/home/kmodi/usr_local/6/lib64/pkgconfig:/cad/adi/apps/gnu/linux/x86_64/6/lib/pkgconfig:/cad/adi/apps/gnu/linux/x86_64/6/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig:/lib/pkgconfig:/lib64/pkgconfig

For now, I will rebuild emacs without "--enable-checking='yes,glyphs'
--enable-check-lisp-object-type". But it would be good to know why those
flags affected gdb (when etc/DEBUG says that those should not), and also
why didn't conditional breakpoints work in this case. (I hope to get the
old conditional-breakpoint-working-self back once I finish rebuilding
without those flags.)
