Describe how to provide preprocessor macro information.

66718:f1ce812719c6

we want the address of the l-value expression near the bottom of
`add_command_key' from keyboard.c:

  XVECTOR (this_command_keys)->contents[this_command_key_count++] = key;

XVECTOR is a macro, and therefore, in general, GDB does not know about it.
Unless Emacs has been compiled with preprocessor macro info, GDB cannot
evaluate "p XVECTOR (this_command_keys)" .

However, you can use the xvector command in GDB to get the same
result.  Here is how:

    (gdb) p this_command_keys
    $1 = 1078005760
    (gdb) xvector
    $2 = (struct Lisp_Vector *) 0x411000

we want the address of the l-value expression near the bottom of
`add_command_key' from keyboard.c:

  XVECTOR (this_command_keys)->contents[this_command_key_count++] = key;

XVECTOR is a macro, so GDB only knows about it if Emacs has been compiled with
preprocessor macro information.  GCC provides this if you specify the options
`-gdwarf-2' and `-g3'.  In this case, GDB can evaluate expressions like
"p XVECTOR (this_command_keys)".

When this information isn't available, you can use the xvector command in GDB
to get the same result.  Here is how:

    (gdb) p this_command_keys
    $1 = 1078005760
    (gdb) xvector
    $2 = (struct Lisp_Vector *) 0x411000
