[cdt-debug-dev] FW: MI working group

["Pete MacLiesh" <pmac@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This was posted just recently on a gdb list. Is anyone from the CDT community involved
with this? There's the obvious intel connection in there - is that a related group?

There is plenty of evil in the current MI interface exposed by gdb that needs purifying
for UIs like the CDT to get better


Ciao,

PMac

Hello all,

  I am announcing a working group to work on standardizing the MI 
interface.  As you probably know, the interface has shown much promise 
in being used as the standard interface between debuggers and tools.  It 
is starting to be used in several key environments and toolsets (i.e., 
Eclipse, Xcode, etc.).

  As an emerging standard, it makes sense to work on defining a standard 
for the interface so that debuggers and tools can work together in a 
coherent manner.  To that end, the Debugger Machine Interface (DMI) 
working group has been formed.

  The working group is operating under the Free Standards Group (FSG). 
FSG's main website is under transition, but we have a presence on their 
new wiki site.

  Site details:

  The site is http://dmi.freestandards.org/

  which redirects to: http://webservices.freestandards.org/en/DMI

  (That'll be http://freestandards.org/en/DMI after the site launches 
around the end of April)

  The mailing list is:
