Re: gdb-ui doesn't work with comint read-only prompts

[Richard M. Stallman]

    You get the same errors with "gdb -fullname" if you execute commands using 
the
    toolbar or keybindings e.g C-x C-a C-n.  That's because GUD deletes the
    existing prompt in this and replaces it with the new one.  The variable
    comint-prompt-read-only is quite new.  Why would someone set it to t?

We're not going to remove the feature, so let's not go off on a
tangent about that.  GUD ought to work when that variable is set.

It is not hard to edit read-only text when you want to.  You just
bind inhibit-read-only.
