Great, thanks for testing.

OK, then you could use a slightly different way:

  Thread 1 hit Breakpoint 3, Fredraw_display () at dispnew.c:3032
  3032      FOR_EACH_FRAME (tail, frame)
  (gdb) n
  3033        if (FRAME_VISIBLE_P (XFRAME (frame)))
  (gdb) p frame
  $1 = XIL(0xa000000001b5e380)
  (gdb) xframe
  $2 = (struct frame *) 0x1b5e380 <dumped_data+4020672>
  "emacs@HOME-C4E4A596F7"
  (gdb) p $2->redisplay
  $3 = true
  (gdb) watch -l $2->redisplay
  Hardware watchpoint 4: -location $2->redisplay
  (gdb) commands
  Type commands for breakpoint(s) 4, one per line.
  End with a line saying just "end".
    >bt
    >continue
    >end
  (gdb) continue

(The "xframe" command is defined in src/.gdbinit, so if you are not
running GDB from the src directory, you will need to tell it to read
that file:

  (gdb) source /path/to/emacs/src/.gdbinit

When I try this, I get a different frame pointer and a warning message
from GDB.  So let's hope this workaround is incorrect ;-)

Thanks.
