Explicit @value{GDBN} @code{list} or search commands still produce output as
usual, but you probably have no reason to use them from Emacs.
-@quotation
-@emph{Warning:} If the directory where your program resides is not your
-current directory, it can be easy to confuse Emacs about the location of
-the source files, in which case the auxiliary display buffer does not
-appear to show your source. @value{GDBN} can find programs by searching your
-environment's @code{PATH} variable, so the @value{GDBN} input and output
-session proceeds normally; but Emacs does not get enough information
-back from @value{GDBN} to locate the source files in this situation. To
-avoid this problem, either start @value{GDBN} mode from the directory where
-your program resides, or specify an absolute file name when prompted for the
-@kbd{M-x gdb} argument.
-
-A similar confusion can result if you use the @value{GDBN} @code{file} command to
-switch to debugging a program in some other location, from an existing
-@value{GDBN} buffer in Emacs.

-
-By default, @kbd{M-x gdb} calls the program called @file{gdb}. If
-you need to call @value{GDBN} by a different name (for example, if you keep
-several configurations around, with different names) you can set the
-Emacs variable @code{gdb-command-name}; for example,
-
-@smallexample
-(setq gdb-command-name "mygdb")
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-(preceded by @kbd{M-:} or @kbd{ESC :}, or typed in the @code{*scratch*} buffer, or
-in your @file{.emacs} file) makes Emacs call the program named
-``@code{mygdb}'' instead.
+If you specify an absolute file name when prompted for the @kbd{M-x
+gdb} argument, then Emacs sets your current working directory to where
+your program resides. If you only specify the file name, then Emacs
+sets your current working directory to to the directory associated
+with the previous buffer. In this case, @value{GDBN} may find your
+program by searching your environment's @code{PATH} variable, but on
+some operating systems it might not find the source. So, although the
+@value{GDBN} input and output session proceeds normally, the auxiliary
+buffer does not display the current source and line of execution.
+
+The initial working directory of @value{GDBN} is printed on the top
+line of the @value{GDBN} I/O buffer and this serves as a default for
+the commands that specify files for @value{GDBN} to operate
+on. @xref{Files, ,Commands to specify files}.
+
+By default, @kbd{M-x gdb} calls the program called @file{gdb}. If you
+need to call @value{GDBN} by a different name (for example, if you
+keep several configurations around, with different names) you can
+customize the Emacs variable @code{gud-gdb-command-name} to run the
+one you want.
In the @value{GDBN} I/O buffer, you can use these special Emacs commands in
addition to the standard Shell mode commands:
@item C-h m
Describe the features of Emacs' @value{GDBN} Mode.
-@item M-s
+@item C-c C-s
Execute to another source line, like the @value{GDBN} @code{step} command; also
update the display window to show the current file and location.
-@item M-n
+@item C-c C-n
Execute to next source line in this function, skipping all function
calls, like the @value{GDBN} @code{next} command. Then update the display window
to show the current file and location.
-@item M-i
+@item C-c C-i
Execute one instruction, like the @value{GDBN} @code{stepi} command; update
display window accordingly.
-@item M-x gdb-nexti
-Execute to next instruction, using the @value{GDBN} @code{nexti} command; update
-display window accordingly.
-
@item C-c C-f
Execute until exit from the selected stack frame, like the @value{GDBN}
@code{finish} command.
-@item M-c
+@item C-c C-r
Continue execution of your program, like the @value{GDBN} @code{continue}
command.
-@emph{Warning:} In Emacs v19, this command is @kbd{C-c C-p}.
-
-@item M-u
+@item C-c <
Go up the number of frames indicated by the numeric argument
(@pxref{Arguments, , Numeric Arguments, Emacs, The @sc{gnu} Emacs Manual}),
like the @value{GDBN} @code{up} command.
-@emph{Warning:} In Emacs v19, this command is @kbd{C-c C-u}.
-
-@item M-d
+@item C-c >
Go down the number of frames indicated by the numeric argument, like the
@value{GDBN} @code{down} command.
-
-@emph{Warning:} In Emacs v19, this command is @kbd{C-c C-d}.
-
-@item C-x &
-Read the number where the cursor is positioned, and insert it at the end
-of the @value{GDBN} I/O buffer. For example, if you wish to disassemble code
-around an address that was displayed earlier, type @kbd{disassemble};
-then move the cursor to the address display, and pick up the
-argument for @code{disassemble} by typing @kbd{C-x &}.
-
-You can customize this further by defining elements of the list
-@code{gdb-print-command}; once it is defined, you can format or
-otherwise process numbers picked up by @kbd{C-x &} before they are
-inserted. A numeric argument to @kbd{C-x &} indicates that you
-wish special formatting, and also acts as an index to pick an element of the
-list. If the list element is a string, the number to be inserted is
-formatted using the Emacs function @code{format}; otherwise the number
-is passed as an argument to the corresponding list element.
@end table
-In any source file, the Emacs command @kbd{C-x SPC} (@code{gdb-break})
+In any source file, the Emacs command @kbd{C-x SPC} (@code{gud-break})
tells @value{GDBN} to set a breakpoint on the source line point is on.
+If you type @kbd{M-x speedbar}, then Emacs displays a separate frame which
+shows a backtrace when the @value{GDBN} I/O buffer is current. Move
+point to any frame in the stack and type @key{RET} to make it become the
+current frame and display the associated source in the source buffer.
+Alternatively, click @kbd{Mouse-2} to make the selected frame become the
+current one.
+
If you accidentally delete the source-display buffer, an easy way to get
it back is to type the command @code{f} in the @value{GDBN} buffer, to
request a frame display; when you run under Emacs, this recreates
communicates with Emacs in terms of line numbers. If you add or
delete lines from the text, the line numbers that @value{GDBN} knows cease
to correspond properly with the code.

+The description given here is for GNU Emacs version 21.3 and a more
+detailed description of its interaction with @value{GDBN} is given in
+the Emacs manual (@pxref{Debuggers,,, Emacs, The @sc{gnu} Emacs Manual}).
