Re: [cdt-debug-dev] How to develop a non-gdb debugger for CDT?

["Felix Yuan" <bigbrain_cn@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Haim,
thank you for your reply.

Our projcet is to develop a C compile system for a special DSP. It has a
simulator
that we can use to debug assemble code.
The original plan is to use remote debugging with gdb. But the debugger team
has met some diffculties when they tried to port gdb to our system. So they
select
plan B, to develop their own debugger which is not as complex  as gdb is.
They want to wrap the simulator in the debugger and provide some calling
interface
for debugging. So we must know how CDT is making use of the MI-interface of
gdb as you mentioned. And then we could replace gdb by our own debugger
without
modifying too many CDT source files.
We expect more advice from you.
Thanks.

Best Regards,
Felix
