Next: GUD Operation, Up: GUD—Grand Unified Debugger Mode [Index]
Each of these commands reads a command line to invoke the debugger, using the minibuffer. The minibuffer’s initial contents contain the standard executable name and options for the debugger, and sometimes also a guess for the name of the executable file you want to debug. Shell wildcards and variables are not allowed in this command line. Emacs assumes that the first command argument which does not start with a ‘-’ is the executable file name.
