Re: Why does symfile.c use printf_filtered?
Log messages are there to keep the user up-to-date on what GDB is doing
(and confirm that GDB hasn't hung ...). Just like other such messages
(thread notifications, hosted output from the remote) they should halt
"shouldn't"?
Grr, yes. "shouldn't". Having the hosted output, fir instance, stop
after 24 lines would (and did) drive people batty :-)
GDB and hence shouldn't be paged.
This is different to something like "info registers" where GDB has
stopped, and the user expects to be able to read the entire response.
