Thanks.

So if i want to debug in emacs with gdb and have ide like functionality , giving me the ability to create breakpoint by clicking next to source lines or windows with updates on variables, registers , memory region etc then gdb must be able ta accept 'machine' like commands from the emacs gdb frontent.

Alexandros.

That worked. Although i dont quite understand what is the /GDB/MI
interface./
GDB/MI is the so-called "machine interface". Back Then (TM), GDB was
just an interactive program: you type in things, GDB displays things
to you. With time, more-or-less graphical front ends appeared (among
them, of course, something written in Emacs). It became clear that
the interactive user interface wasn't the ideal way for a program to
control GDB, and thus MI was born.
