[Bashdb-devel] emacs annotate (and bash 3.1-0.09 released)

[R. B. <ro...@pa...>]

I happened to notice a patch by Alberto Griggio for the python
debugger pydb, after releasing bashd 3.1-0.09. The patch improves
emacs interaction by using gdb's annotation mechanism.

The jist is that the debugger spits out breakpoint and stack
information whenever this changes in a special section or as an
"annotation". Inside Emacs buffers are saved for each section of
information.

gdb's annotation mechanism isn't restricted to just improving emacs,
other front ends can make use of it as well. 

I've retrofited this pydb change for bashdb and that is in CVS. If you
try it out let me know what you think. I'll probably also make a
change for ruby-debug as well.
