Re: [PATCH] find-file-noselect-1

[Richard Stallman]

    Is this what you mean?

More or less.

                           I don't think that gud-comint-buffer should be set to
    nil because that would prevent the GDB session from recovering.

Perhaps you should add a new variable, which you can set if you catch
an error, to disable this hook from really doing anything once it has
had an error.

    That might have been true but I'm now using this function to address Kim's
    point about enabling gud-minor-mode for existing buffers.

It sounds like you are in all cases trying to find an existing buffer.
So instead of using find-file-noselect, you could use
find-buffer-visiting.
