Thanks, fixed.

That's not really what that file is about.

No, it's a debugger. See the node "Debugger" in the ELisp manual, it
is described there.

No, of course not. When you attach GDB to a program, GDB stops its,
so Emacs will stop responding, and you will not be able to continue
debugging.
But you can run a second instance of the same binary, and debug the
first instance from that second instance. Perhaps this is what you
had in mind, and this is just a misunderstanding caused by the vague
meaning of "instance"?
