t

Documentation

Non-nil means create a list of files from which the executable was built.

Set this to nil if the GUD buffer displays "initializing..." in the mode line for a long time when starting, possibly because your executable was built from a large number of files. This allows quicker initialization but means that these files are not automatically enabled for debugging, e.g., you won't be able to click in the fringe to set a breakpoint until execution has already stopped there.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 23.1.
