Date: Thu, 02 Jan 2025 14:04:56 -0500

I'd expect to be able to answer the debuginfod query in the affirmative
in the GUD session below, but nothing I put into the buffer seems
acceptable to GDB.

Which command did you use: "M-x gdb" or "M-x gud-gdb"?

The former is supposed to allow you to answer the question, at least
in Emacs 30 (you didn't say which Emacs version you used).  The latter
doesn't ask me that question at all.  So I'm unsure what happens in
your case.  In case this is GDB-version dependent: I tried with GDB
version 12.1.

The former.  The latter works fine, but doesn't integrate into Emacs.

I'm using master.

debuginfod isn't enabled in all environments, so you might not get the question.
I'm using GDB 15.1.

Then I cannot reproduce this here.

Oh, I do get asked, and I can answer either 'n' or 'y'.  But the
question I see is worded differently:

  Enable querying debuginfod servers for this session? (y or n) y

This question comes from gdb-init-1, in this fragment:

  ;; This needs to be done before we ask GDB for anything that might
  ;; trigger questions about debuginfod queries.
  (if (eq gdb-debuginfod-enable 'ask)
      (setq gdb-debuginfod-enable
            (y-or-n-p "Enable querying debuginfod servers for this session?")))
  (gdb-input (format "-gdb-set debuginfod enabled %s"
                     (if gdb-debuginfod-enable "on" "off"))
             'gdb-debuginfod-message)

It looks like in your case we fail to ask the above question before
GDB asks us about that, but what breaks the above assumption and
triggers GDB's question before we shut it up?  It could be a different
GDB version, I'm not sure.  I don't have GDB 15 on the GNU/Linux
system where I can test this.

Is this in "emacs -Q", btw?  If not, perhaps some customizations get
in the way?  Or maybe some GDB customizations?

Can anyone else reproduce this with the master branch and GDB 15?

Anyway, as a stopgap, you should be able to avoid the question by
customizing gdb-debuginfod-enable-setting.  If that doesn't work
either, it's possible that something causes GDB to ask this question
earlier than we anticipate, and we need to revisit this code (which
was tested at the time with GDB versions that asked about debuginfod).

Ping!  Any additional information about this?  I'd like to make some
progress with this issue, at least to understand what is causing it
and why can't I reproduce this on my system.
