<h2 class="chapter">8 Annotation for <small>GDB</small> Input</h2>
|
|
<a name="index-annotations-for-prompts"></a>
|
<p>When <small>GDB</small> prompts for input, it annotates this fact so it is possible
|
to know when to send output, when the output from a given command is
|
over, etc.
|
</p>
|
<p>Different kinds of input each have a different <em>input type</em>. Each
|
input type has three annotations: a <code>pre-</code> annotation, which
|
denotes the beginning of any prompt which is being output, a plain
|
annotation, which denotes the end of the prompt, and then a <code>post-</code>
|
annotation which denotes the end of any echo which may (or may not) be
|
associated with the input. For example, the <code>prompt</code> input type
|
features the following annotations:
|
</p>
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
<pre class="smallexample">^Z^Zpre-prompt
|
^Z^Zprompt
|
^Z^Zpost-prompt
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<p>The input types are

<dt><code>prompt-for-continue</code></dt>
|
<dd><p>When <small>GDB</small> is asking the user to press return to continue. Note: Don’t
|
expect this to work well; instead use <code>set height 0</code> to disable
|
prompting. This is because the counting of lines is buggy in the
|
presence of annotations.
