GDB: Don't display I/O buffer window.

[chandan r]

Hi all,

Quoting from the Emacs manual,
"However, if `gdb-use-separate-io-buffer' is `nil', the I/O buffer
does not appear and the primary source buffer occupies the full width
of the frame."

Emacs displays the 'I/O buffer', Inspite of setting gdb-use-separate-io-buffer
to nil in my init file. Please let me know what else I need to add in my init
file to disable the 'I/O buffer'.

Regards,
chandan r

This is a documentation bug: that variable no longer exists. Please
submit a bug report with "M-x report-emacs-bug RET".

Why do you need that? Doing that is a bad idea, because the I/O of
the program being debugged should always be separated from the GDB
I/O. Otherwise, Emacs will try to interpret the program's output as
if it were something produced by the debugger, which will mess your
debugging.

If you just are not interested in seeing the I/O buffer, go to it and
type "C-x 0".
