The current text for the paragraph is this:
We recommend using the GUI front-end for GDB provided by Emacs.
With it, you can start GDB by typing "M-x gdb RET". This will
suggest the default binary to debug; if you are going to start a
new Emacs process, change it as needed to point to the correct
binary. Alternatively, if you want to attach the debugger to an
already running Emacs process, change the GDB command shown in
the minibuffer to say this:
gdb -i=mi -p PID
where PID is the numerical process ID of the running Emacs
process, displayed by system utilities such as 'top' or 'ps' on
Posix hosts and Task Manager on MS-Windows.
It's the third sentence that's at issue due to the previously
mentioned ambiguities etc. I am suggesting something along the
following lines (but you have said IIUC that I have misunderstood
the intended meaning):
We recommend using the GUI front-end for GDB provided by Emacs.
With it, you can start GDB by typing "M-x gdb RET". This will
suggest the default binary for GDB to load; if you want GDB to
load a different binary, change the suggestion as needed.
