             Bug #: 15182
           Summary: Pagination is triggered for dprintf
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: breakpoints
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: marc.khouzam@ericsson.com
    Classification: Unclassified


Pagination is triggered for dprintf in CLI mode.  I have seen this when using
dprintf-style 'gdb' but I didn't try the "call" mode because it does not work
on my Ubuntu machine.  

I think pagination is a problem for dprintf because:

   a) when pagination is triggered, inferior execution will be 
      interrupted until the user answers the pagination prompt

   b) pagination is triggered by the dprintf but not by real 
      inferior output. So, as dprintf and inferior printouts 
      appear interleaved on the screen, the pagination prompt 
      will be triggered when the dprintfs add up to too many, 
      which will seem random to the user, since the other 
      printouts are also visible.
