@cindex program building
@cindex running Lisp functions

  The previous chapter discusses the Emacs commands that are useful for
making changes in programs.  This chapter deals with commands that assist
in the larger process of developing and maintaining programs.

@menu
* Compilation::         Compiling programs in languages other
                          than Lisp (C, Pascal, etc.).
* Compilation Mode::    The mode for visiting compiler errors.

@item Input/Output Buffer
@vindex gdb-use-inferior-io-buffer
If the variable @code{gdb-use-inferior-io-buffer} is non-@code{nil},
the executable program that is being debugged takes its input and
displays its output here.  Otherwise it uses the GUD buffer for that.
To toggle the use of this buffer, do @kbd{M-x
gdb-use-inferior-io-buffer}.

Some of the commands from shell mode are available here.  @xref{Shell
Mode}.

@item Locals Buffer
The locals buffer displays the values of local variables of the
current frame for simple data types (@pxref{Frame Info, Frame Info,
Information on a frame, gdb, The GNU debugger}).

Arrays and structures display their type only.  With GDB 6.4 or later,
move point to their name and press @key{RET}, or alternatively click
@kbd{Mouse-2} there, to examine their values.  With earlier versions
of GDB, move point to their type description ([struct/union] or
[array]).  @xref{Watch Expressions}.

@item Registers Buffer
@findex toggle-gdb-all-registers
The registers buffer displays the values held by the registers
(@pxref{Registers,,, gdb, The GNU debugger}).  Press @key{RET} or

  The previous chapter discusses the Emacs commands that are useful for
making changes in programs.  This chapter deals with commands that assist
in the larger process of compiling and testing programs.

@menu
* Compilation::         Compiling programs in languages other
                          than Lisp (C, Pascal, etc.).
* Compilation Mode::    The mode for visiting compiler errors.

@item Input/Output Buffer
@vindex gdb-use-inferior-io-buffer
If the variable @code{gdb-use-inferior-io-buffer} is non-@code{nil},
the executable program that is being debugged takes its input and
displays its output here.  Otherwise it uses the GUD buffer for that.
To toggle whether GUD mode uses this buffer, do @kbd{M-x
gdb-use-inferior-io-buffer}.  That takes effect when you next
restart the program you are debugging.

The history and replay commands from Shell mode are available here,
as are the commands to send signals to the program you are debugging.

@item Locals Buffer
The locals buffer displays the values of local variables of the
current frame for simple data types (@pxref{Frame Info, Frame Info,
Information on a frame, gdb, The GNU debugger}).

Arrays and structures display their type only.  With GDB 6.4 or later,
move point to their name and press @key{RET}, or alternatively click
@kbd{Mouse-2} there, to examine their values.  With earlier versions
of GDB, use @kbd{Mouse-2} or @key{RET} on the type description
(@samp{[struct/union]} or @samp{[array]}).  @xref{Watch Expressions}.

@item Registers Buffer

The registers buffer displays the values held by the registers
