Change printing example to break on a procedure name.

objects which you can examine in turn with the x... commands.

Even with a live process, these x...  commands are useful for
examining the fields in a buffer, window, process, frame or marker.
Here's an example using concepts explained in the node "Value History"
of the GDB manual to print the variable frame from this line in
xmenu.c:

		  buf.frame_or_window = frame;

First, use these commands:

    cd src
    gdb emacs
    b xmenu.c:1296
    r -q

Then type C-x 5 2 to create a new frame, and it hits the breakpoint:

    (gdb) p frame
    $1 = 1077872640
    (gdb) xtype
    Lisp_Vectorlike
    PVEC_FRAME
    (gdb) xframe
    $2 = (struct frame *) 0x3f0800
    (gdb) p *$
    $3 = {
      size = 536871989,
      next = 0x366240,
      name = 809661752,
      [...]
    }
    (gdb) p $3->name
    $4 = 809661752

Now we can use `pr' to print the name of the frame:

    (gdb) pr
    "[e-mail]"

objects which you can examine in turn with the x... commands.

Even with a live process, these x...  commands are useful for
examining the fields in a buffer, window, process, frame or marker.
Here's an example using concepts explained in the node "Value History"
of the GDB manual to print values associated with the variable
called frame.  First, use these commands:

    cd src
    gdb emacs
    b set_frame_buffer_list
    r -q

Then when Emacs it hits the breakpoint:

    (gdb) p frame
    $1 = 139854428
    (gdb) xtype
    Lisp_Vectorlike
    PVEC_FRAME
    (gdb) xframe
    $2 = (struct frame *) 0x8560258
    (gdb) p *$
    $3 = {
      size = 1073742931,
      next = 0x85dfe58,
      name = 140615219,
      [...]
    }
    (gdb) p $3->name
    $4 = 140615219

Now we can use `pr' to print the name of the frame:

    (gdb) pr
    "[e-mail]"
