* gud.el (gud-def): Doc fix. (gud-gdb-marker-filter, gud-sdb-marker-filter, gud-dbx-marker-filter): Rename the argument `s' or `str' to `string', and change all uses; these definitions were referring to `string', which is unbound in the lexical context, but which happens to end up being bound to the right thing by the caller, gud-filter. (sdb): Set comint-prompt-regexp, not comint-prompt-pattern; the latter doesn't exist. (gud-dbx-debugger-setup): Use the argument `f', not the variable `file', which happens to be bound in the caller. (gud-filter-insert): The variable `start' is never used. The variable `moving' is unnecessary. The variable `old-buffer' and the unwind-protect form are unneeded, since save-excursion can do their work. The binding of output-after-point should be done after switching to the process's buffer, not in whatever random buffer happens to be current when the process filter is called. There's no need to set the process mark if we've just inserted at its location using insert-before-markers. (gud-read-address): Don't bother setting the variable `result'; it is never used. * gud.el (gud-mode-map): Bind gud-refresh to C-c C-l, not C-c l; the latter is reserved for the user's purposes. * gud.el (gdb, sdb, dbx): Use C-c C-r ("resume") for continuing, instead of C-c C-c. C-c C-c should be comint-interrupt-subjob; it's important to have that available, and the C-c C-c binding is consistent with all the other comint-derived modes.

;;; Commentary:

;;; This Lisp code is run in Emacs when it is to operate as
;;; a server for other processes.

;;; Load this library and do M-x server-edit to enable Emacs as a server.
;;; Emacs runs the program ../arch-lib/emacsserver as a subprocess
;;; for communication with clients.  If there are no client buffers to edit, 
;;; server-edit acts like (switch-to-buffer (other-buffer))

;;; When some other program runs "the editor" to edit a file,
;;; "the editor" can be the Emacs client program ../lib-src/emacsclient.
;;; This program transmits the file names to Emacs through
;;; the server subprocess, and Emacs visits them and lets you edit them.

;;; Note that any number of clients may dispatch files to emacs to be edited.

;;; When you finish editing a Server buffer, again call server-edit
;;; to mark that buffer as done for the client and switch to the next 
;;; Server buffer.  When all the buffers for a client have been edited 
;;; and exited with server-edit, the client "editor" will return
;;; to the program that invoked it.  

;;; Your editing commands and Emacs's display output go to and from
;;; the terminal in the usual way.  Thus, server operation is possible
;;; only when Emacs can talk to the terminal at the time you invoke
;;; the client.  This is possible in four cases:

;;; 1. On a window system, where Emacs runs in one window and the
;;; program that wants to use "the editor" runs in another.

;;; 2. On a multi-terminal system, where Emacs runs on one terminal and the
;;; program that wants to use "the editor" runs on another.

;;; 3. When the program that wants to use "the editor" is running
;;; as a subprocess of Emacs.

;;; 4. On a system with job control, when Emacs is suspended, the program
;;; that wants to use "the editor" will stop and display
;;; "Waiting for Emacs...".  It can then be suspended, and Emacs can be
;;; brought into the foreground for editing.  When done editing, Emacs is
;;; suspended again, and the client program is brought into the foreground.

;;; The buffer local variable "server-buffer-clients" lists 
;;; the clients who are waiting for this buffer to be edited.  
;;; The global variable "server-clients" lists all the waiting clients,
;;; and which files are yet to be edited for each.
