Subject: bug#72667: 31.0.50; gud-print moves the cursor after execution
Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2024 13:38:26 +0200

When one runs `gud-print' with `C-x C-a C-p`, point moves to a line that
 is the debugger stopped at instead of staying where it was. I'm not
 sure if it is an intended behaviour. If it is, it would be very nice if
 one could override it, since I find that I want the point to keep it's
 position after I print a value. I can always run `C-x C-a C-l` to jump
 to the currently executing line.

Here's a an illustration. Suppose you have a program `test.c':

```
    int main() {
      int a = 42;
      int b = 13;
      int c = 69;
      return a + b + c;
    }
```

Which you can compile for example like this: `gcc -g -Wall -o test01 test.c'.
Now, if you stop execution at `int b', move the point to `int a' and run
`C-x C-a C-p' the point will jump back to `int b' instead of staying at
`int a'.

Thanks!
