Re: GDB GUD Variable Buffer

[Augusto Fraga Giachero]

Oh, I've forgotten the gdb-many-windows mode. Yes, it does show a 
variable buffer as I wanted, but it displays too many windows, I'll try 
to customize it.

Another question, do you know how to automatically execute an elisp 
function right after I close the GUD session? That's because now I need 
to kill a gdb server process each time I exit gdb.

Thanks,
Augusto Fraga Giachero.
