Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
Hi.
When GDB is used through emacs, command history is not saved to my
.gdbhist file on gdb 'quit'.
I use a MinGW/msys/bash environment. When gdb is used from the shell
prompt, the settings in .gdbinit are sufficient to ensure ~/.gdbhist
(or h:/install/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/pbeardm1/.gdbhist ..I've
experimented with both) is successfully written to with the GDB
command history.
When i use GNU emacs 23.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) from this shell
and start the debugger within, having typed a few arbitrary commands
to populate the command history / ring, i quit the debugger and ..
..observe a time stamp change on the correct .gdbhist file ..BUT find
its content exactly as it was previously i.e. with nothing appended.
I expect to see my last GDB commands written to the file.
Note: through emacs, this file is not read either ..which makes me
think that i haven't tweaked 'input ring' settings to use this file as
a 'ring source' or something. I enquired on the IRC channel and got
tumbleweeds ..hence i call this a 'bug' (quotes) to leave room for the
possibility of it being a trivial config issue!
Thanks.

It seemed to work for me.

You could add something like the following to gdb-mode-hook:
(setq comint-input-ring-file-name "~/.gdbhist")
(comint-read-input-ring t)
shell-mode tries to do this by default; perhaps gdb-mode should do
similar.

I've added this to M-x gdb.

Hi, sorry for the late come back and thank you for the comments. Could
i ask whether you tested a w32 emacs version evoked from a MinGW/Msys
bash prompt? My GNU/Linux emacs gdb history works out of the box so i
still think this is a bug, possibly to do with file encodings?!
As a workaround, i started with the gdb-mode-hook you provided (thank
you) and added a few more comint settings..
(add-hook 'gdb-mode-hook '(lambda()
(setq comint-input-ring-file-name "~/.gdbhist")
(comint-read-input-ring t)
(setq comint-input-ring-size 1000)
(setq comint-input-ignoredups t)
))
..but obviously this wouldn't solve the problem of not writing the
commands back to the file after the session.
(add-hook 'kill-buffer-hook 'comint-write-input-ring)
..took care of the buffer being killed, but I also defined this advice
to take care of quitting..
(defadvice gdb-send-item (before gdb-save-history first nil activate)
"write input ring on quit"
(if (equal (type-of item) 'string) ; avoid problems with some
horrible, seemingly unprintable structures sent to this function..
(if (string-match "^q\\(u\\|ui\\|uit\\)?$" item)
(progn (comint-write-input-ring)
(message "history file '%s' written" comint-input-ring-file-name)))))
Thanks,
Pete

No, sorry, I don't use MS Windows. I'll re-open this, since I see I only
addressed the second part of your initial report (about gdbhist not
being read), not the first part about it not being written.
Did not alter fixed versions and reopened.

"Now Emacs uses GDB/MI, commands from the GUD buffer don't go into
that history"
Not sure what this means, except that this feature isn't going to work.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)
Do you still see this problem with more recent versions of
Emacs/Windows/gdb?

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.
