[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]

To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org
Subject: 24.0.90; gdb initialization on Cygwin
Date: Sun, 16 Oct 2011 12:02:59 -0400

When I start a debugging session with M-x gdb, initialization doesn't
appear to complete.  I don't get the "(gdb)" prompt, and the mode line
continues to say "initializing".  If I press Return, I get the prompt
and the mode line changes to "ready".  Everything works fine after that.
This seems Cygwin-specific; it doesn't happen on GNU/Linux.

I've checked that all the strings that emacs sends to gdb during
initialization (via gdb-input) do in fact get sent.  And I've tried
sending those same strings to gdb outside of emacs (except for
"-inferior-tty-set..."), and nothing strange happened.  In particular, I
did have a "(gdb)" prompt at each stage.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might cause this or how I
can debug it?  I don't have any experience with elisp debugging, so I
would appreciate a few pointers to help get me started.

Thanks.

Ken

This has now been fixed in the Cygwin development trunk.  The fix will 
be in Cygwin 1.7.10, which will probably be released before Emacs 24.1, 
so I'm closing the bug.
