Re: [cdt-debug-dev] Fw: [cdt-patch] Moving shared library features from mi to CDI
|
Hi Doug,
The reason of these changes is to provide support of deferred breakpoints in
CDI. The problem is that gdb doesn't support catchpoints on the most of the
platforms, so we are trying to find a workaround to emulate it. There is a
flag in gdb - 'stop-on-solib-events'. When this flag is on gdb stops every
time when a shared library related function (dlopen, dlsym, etc and internal
functions) is called. The idea is to handle these events internally and try
to reset breakpoints.
We have implemented it for the QNX debugger (with some restrictions) and now
we are moving it to CDT. The QNX implementation calls some MI methods
directly and we decided to add the equivalents of these methods to CDI.
I think that the 'stop-on-solib-events' flag is not supported on Windows but
I have to double check it. If so this feature won't have an effect on
Windows.
Mikhail
