(widget-specify-field, widget-field-value-get, character): Revert 2009-03-24 change, since it causes a more serious problem than the one it solves. (Closes Bug#3136, reopens Bug#2689.)

# emacs-buffer.gdb --- gdb macros for recovering buffers from emacs coredumps

# Copyright (C) 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

# Maintainer: Noah Friedman <[e-mail]>
# Status: Works with Emacs 22.0.51.1 (prerelease) as of 2006-01-12.
#         Older cvs snapshots, and released versions, will not work due to
#         changes in lisp data structures.  But there are older versions of
#         this gdb script which work with those versions.

# Commentary:

# This is a set of gdb macros for recovering the contents of buffers from
# an Emacs coredump; they may not always be file-backed or have a recent
# autosave.
#
# The Emacs executable must have debugging symbols for this to work.
# But you never strip Emacs, right?
#
# The main commands of interest are `ybuffer-list', `yfile-buffers',
# `ysave-buffer', and `ybuffer-contents'.  The `y' prefix avoids any
# namespace collisions with emacs/src/.gdbinit.

# Example usage:
#
#     $ gdb /export/src/emacs/2005-05-02--03-17/src/emacs core.emacs.6.9845

end
document ybuffer-list
  Display a list of buffer names, sizes, and other attributes.
  The buffer number in the first column is used as an argument
  to some other emacs-buffer recovery commands, e.g. `ysave-buffer'.
end

define yfile-buffers
  set $yfile_buffers_only = 1
  ybuffer-list
end
document yfile-buffers
  Display a list of buffers which are associated with files.
  This is like `ybuffer-list', but only buffers that were visiting files
  are displayed.

  buffer as displayed by `ybuffer-list'.

  #print *$beg@($gap - $beg)
  #print *$gap_end@($end - $gap_end)
end
document yget-buffer-pointers
  Update convenience variables with address pointers for the ARG'th buffer
  as displayed by `ybuffer-list'.

  This also sets the current buffer using `yset-buffer' (which see).
end

  set $this = $ycurrent_buffer->name
  ygetptr $this

  Set $ycurrent_buffer_name to the name of the currently selected buffer.
end

  yget-current-buffer-name

end
document ycurrent-buffer
  Display the currently selected buffer.

      append binary memory $arg1 $gap_end $end
      set $endptr = $end
    end
  end
end
document ydump-buffer
  Write contents of buffer N (as numbered according to `ybuffer-list') to
  file FILE.

  This is mainly used as an internal subroutine for `ysave-buffer' and
  `ybuffer-contents', which see.
end

define ysave-buffer
  ydump-buffer $arg0 $arg1
  if $yverbose
    yget-current-buffer-name
    if $buf->z_byte <= 1
      printf "[Buffer \"%s\" is empty.]\n", $ycurrent_buffer_name
    else
      # Output string broken into separate calls as necessary to avoid
      # requiring a running process for evaluation.
      printf "[Wrote buffer \"%s\" to file ", $ycurrent_buffer_name
      echo $arg1]\n
    end
  end
end
document ysave-buffer
  Save contents of buffer N (as numbered according to `ybuffer-list') to
  file FILE.
end

define ybuffer-contents
  ydump-buffer $arg0 /dev/stdout
  if $yverbose && $buf->z_byte <= 1
    yget-current-buffer-name
    printf "[Buffer \"%s\" is empty.]\n", $ycurrent_buffer_name
  else
    if *($endptr-1) != '\n'

    end
  end
end
document ybuffer-contents
  Write contents of buffer N (numbered according to `ybuffer-list') to stdout.
