The GDB Text User Interface (TUI) is a terminal
|
|
interface which uses the <CODE>curses</CODE> library to show the source
|
|
file, the assembly output, the program registers and GDB
|
|
commands in separate text windows. The TUI mode is supported only
|
|
on platforms where a suitable version of the <CODE>curses</CODE> library
|
|
is available.
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
|
|
<A NAME="IDX1220"></A>
|
|
The TUI mode is enabled by default when you invoke GDB as
|
|
either <SAMP>`gdbtui'</SAMP> or <SAMP>`gdb -tui'</SAMP>.
|
|
You can also switch in and out of TUI mode while GDB runs by
|
|
using various TUI commands and key bindings, such as <KBD>C-x C-a</KBD>.
|
|
See section <A HREF="gdb_23.html#SEC237">TUI Key Bindings</A>.

<!--docid::SEC236::-->

<P>

In TUI mode, GDB can display several text windows:
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT><EM>command</EM>
|
|
<DD>This window is the GDB command window with the GDB
|
|
prompt and the GDB output. The GDB input is still
|
|
managed using readline.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<DT><EM>source</EM>
|
|
<DD>The source window shows the source file of the program. The current
|
|
line and active breakpoints are displayed in this window.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<DT><EM>assembly</EM>
|
|
<DD>The assembly window shows the disassembly output of the program.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<DT><EM>register</EM>
|
|
<DD>This window shows the processor registers. Registers are highlighted
|
|
when their values change.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The source and assembly windows show the current program position
|
|
by highlighting the current line and marking it with a <SAMP>`>'</SAMP> marker.
|
|
Breakpoints are indicated with two markers. The first marker
|
|
indicates the breakpoint type:
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT><CODE>B</CODE>
|
|
<DD>Breakpoint which was hit at least once.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<DT><CODE>b</CODE>
|
|
<DD>Breakpoint which was never hit.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<DT><CODE>H</CODE>
|
|
<DD>Hardware breakpoint which was hit at least once.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<DT><CODE>h</CODE>
|
|
<DD>Hardware breakpoint which was never hit.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The second marker indicates whether the breakpoint is enabled or not:
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT><CODE>+</CODE>
|
|
<DD>Breakpoint is enabled.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<DT><CODE>-</CODE>
|
|
<DD>Breakpoint is disabled.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The source, assembly and register windows are updated when the current
|
|
thread changes, when the frame changes, or when the program counter
|
|
changes.
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
|
|
These windows are not all visible at the same time. The command
|
|
window is always visible. The others can be arranged in several
|
|
layouts:
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>
|
|
source only,
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<LI>
|
|
assembly only,
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<LI>
|
|
source and assembly,
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<LI>
|
|
source and registers, or
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<LI>
|
|
assembly and registers.
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|

A status line above the command window shows the following information:
|
|

<DL COMPACT>

The name is demangled if demangling is turned on (see section <A HREF="gdb_9.html#SEC66">8.7 Print Settings</A>).

When there is no symbol corresponding to the current program counter,

the string <CODE>??</CODE> is displayed.

<H2> 22.2 TUI Key Bindings </H2>
|
|
<!--docid::SEC237::-->
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The TUI installs several key bindings in the readline keymaps
|
|
(see section <A HREF="gdb_28.html#SEC657">27. Command Line Editing</A>). The following key bindings
|
|
are installed for both TUI mode and the GDB standard mode.

<DD><A NAME="IDX1223"></A>
|
|
<DT><KBD>C-x A</KBD>
|
|
<DD>Enter or leave the TUI mode. When leaving the TUI mode,
|
|
the curses window management stops and GDB operates using
|
|
its standard mode, writing on the terminal directly. When reentering
|
|
the TUI mode, control is given back to the curses windows.
|
|
The screen is then refreshed.

<A NAME="IDX1224"></A>
|

<DT><KBD>C-x 1</KBD>
|
|
<DD>Use a TUI layout with only one window. The layout will

either be <SAMP>`source'</SAMP> or <SAMP>`assembly'</SAMP>. When the TUI mode
|
|
is not active, it will switch to the TUI mode.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Think of this key binding as the Emacs <KBD>C-x 1</KBD> binding.

|
|
<DD>Use a TUI layout with at least two windows. When the current
|
|
layout already has two windows, the next layout with two windows is used.
|
|
When a new layout is chosen, one window will always be common to the
|
|
previous layout and the new one.
|
|
<P>

Think of it as the Emacs <KBD>C-x 2</KBD> binding.

(like scrolling and arrow keys) with the active window. This command
|

gives the focus to the next TUI window.

Because the arrow keys scroll the active window in the TUI mode, they
|
|
are not available for their normal use by readline unless the command
|
|
window has the focus. When another window is active, you must use
|
|
other readline key bindings such as <KBD>C-p</KBD>, <KBD>C-n</KBD>, <KBD>C-b</KBD>
|
|
and <KBD>C-f</KBD> to control the command window.

Other keys temporarily switch to the GDB command prompt.
|
|
The key that was pressed is inserted in the editing buffer so that
|
|
it is possible to type most GDB commands without interaction
|
|
with the TUI SingleKey mode. Once the command is entered the TUI
|
|
SingleKey mode is restored. The only way to permanently leave

this mode is by typing <KBD>q</KBD> or <KBD>C-x s</KBD>.

<H2> 22.4 TUI-specific Commands </H2>
|
|
<!--docid::SEC239::-->
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The TUI has specific commands to control the text windows.
|
|
These commands are always available, even when GDB is not in
|
|
the TUI mode. When GDB is in the standard mode, most
|
|
of these commands will automatically switch to the TUI mode.
