[ECB-list] Dedicated GDB windows

[Johannes Goslar]

Hi,
I am trying to create a gdb layout for ecb which worked well so far via the graphical way.
The buffers are configured with:
(require 'ecb)

(defecb-window-dedicator-to-ecb-buffer ecb-set-gdb-gud-buffer "*gud*" nil "gdb-gud"
(switch-to-buffer gud-comint-buffer)
(set-window-dedicated-p (selected-window) nil))

(defecb-window-dedicator-to-ecb-buffer ecb-set-gdb-io-buffer "*input/output of *" nil "gdb-io"
(switch-to-buffer (gdb-get-buffer-create 'gdb-inferior-io))
(set-window-dedicated-p (selected-window) nil))

(defecb-window-dedicator-to-ecb-buffer ecb-set-gdb-disas-buffer "*disassembly of *" nil "gdb-disas"
(switch-to-buffer (gdb-get-buffer-create 'gdb-disassembly-buffer))
(set-window-dedicated-p (selected-window) nil))

(defecb-window-dedicator-to-ecb-buffer ecb-set-gdb-vars-buffer "*locals of *" nil "gdb-vars"
(switch-to-buffer (gdb-get-buffer-create 'gdb-locals-buffer))
(set-window-dedicated-p (selected-window) nil))

(defecb-window-dedicator-to-ecb-buffer ecb-set-gdb-breaks-buffer "*breakpoints of *" nil "gdb-breaks"
(switch-to-buffer (gdb-get-buffer-create 'gdb-breakpoints-buffer))
(set-window-dedicated-p (selected-window) nil))

(defecb-window-dedicator-to-ecb-buffer ecb-set-gdb-stack-buffer "*stack frames of *" nil "gdb-stacks"
(switch-to-buffer (gdb-get-buffer-create 'gdb-stack-buffer))
(set-window-dedicated-p (selected-window) nil))

(defun ecb-mps-activate ()
(interactive)
(gdb "arm-none-eabi-gdb -i=mi")
(find-file "~/.emacs")
(ecb-layout-switch "jg-arm")
(ecb-activate))

(provide 'ecb-mps)

Contents are displayed right, but when a new window is created it only works when no gud action was done. After a "step" helm is not splitting the main edit window, but taking a gdb window.
Is there a way to prevent this?

Kind Regards
Johannes Goslar

Wow! It had not occurred to me to use ecb in this fashion. If you do
get the kinks worked out can you post more complete details. I think
many developers would appreciate.
