Update of /project/slime/cvsroot/slime In directory cl-net:/tmp/cvs-serv19810
Modified Files: ChangeLog slime.el Log Message: Add M-x slime-attach-gdb as an interactive function.
The ATTACH-GDB restart is nice because it's convenient and the backends can specify customized gdb configuration.
Is there a technical reason that the restart must be there or is it a time limited advertising campaign?
I use the restart in ECL where the Lisp backtrace is often not enough, so I want to get at the C backtrace conveniently and quickly.
Also the bit about enabling backends to specify default configuration is handy so you get to a gdb prompt which is ready to use. In principle, M-x slime-attach-gdb could send a request to the inferior Lisp but then that would violate its lightweight purpose.
Any problem with the restart being present? It's pretty down the restart list.
