Re: Module editing; debugging with gdb

You may want to look into libguile/gdb_interface.h which is where I
found out about gdb_print. It contains some usefull comments.

I changed the other functions of the example gdbinit as well, to do
explicit argument handling, as I did not entirely understand how the
originals worked. So mine now looks as:

	define xcar
	set $last=((scm_cell*) $arg0)->car
	output $last
	echo \n
	end
	document xcar
	Print the CAR of $.
	end

which will return the CAR of an SCM value, saving it in the (gdb)
variable `last'.
