Re: emacs gud-interface is not updated after gdb command execution (maybe because of incomplete output from gdb)

I had a look at the elisp-function gdb-send.

The command process-send-string is used there for sending commands to gdb.

Is it right that the problem manifests itself already there?

The doc of process-send-string says that this command may send the string
contents as separate bunches of data.

If the output is already incomplete because of the partitioned input through
process-send-string I see no way for a cygwin-specific workaround and we must
wait for a fix of gdb.

Do you know where I should report the bug?

Best regards,
Tobias
