Re: [cdt-debug-dev] CDI wrapper for Microsoft command-line debugger CDB?
|
We've talked about it and agreed that such an integration would be great
idea. I don't think anyone has gone beyond that. If you want to take this
on, go for it! Let us know if you have any questions or need any help.

[cdt-debug-dev] CDI wrapper for Microsoft command-line debugger CDB?
I've been thinking about writing a CDI wrapper around Microsoft's
little-known command-line kernel/application debugger "CDB", which is a
command-line version of the somewhat more known WinDbg. CDB can be found
at: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/ddk/debugging/
CDB is in many ways similar to gdb (but with even more cryptical commands!
:-)). The output seems quite straightforward, and (hopefully) easy to
parse. Since WinDbg is already wrapping CDB in a GUI, it can't be
completely impossible to to.
CDB can not debug gcc compiled binaries, but it can debug binaries
compiled
with Microsofts compilers, which gdb can't debug.
Having such a CDI implementation would greatly facilitate a migration from
Microsoft Visual Studio to Eclipse/CDT.
Has anyone else been thinking about this?
