Subject: | bug#70764: 29.1; M-x gdb: don't ask me about debuginfod server if debuginfod is not in context |
Date: | Sat, 04 May 2024 04:00:20 +0200 |
With 29.1 as well as with trunk(both tested with -Q) if I call M-x gdb I get asked: "Enable querying debuginfod servers for this session? (y or n)" Even if I answer with "n" I get the message: "No symbol \"debuginfod\" in current context." This can't be right. Declining to use a feature should not be answered with a message that it would not be available anyways (what the message seem to tell me). Digging around a bit it turns out there is a variable to customise the behaviour here: gdb-debuginfod-enable-setting. Its default value is 'ask. >From a user perspective it only make sense to be ask about wanting something if this something is avaliable. If it is about the advertising aspect then why not more clear don't ask questions and instead write a message like: "You cannot use debuginfod servers. Consider using this marvelous feature". rolf
