I was trying out the new gdb mode in 18.50, but the overlay-arrow in the
source file wasn't being automatically generated/updated as I stepped
through a file. If I put ^Z^Z<source-file-name>/<line-no>/<char-pos>\n
into the debugger buffer by hand it would generate an arrow, but gdb
didn't seem to do that itself and I couldn't find an option to make it
do it. Do I just have an old version of gdb that doesn't spit that out,
or I am doing something wrong?
