yeah, it is obviously the way it should be done according to the gdb manual, and I don't see any other way to do it either (i.e. no other response packet in the serial protocol that could be used).

Well, I guess that _any_ output from the application gets sent in 'O' packets so for other commands things might be collected that are not even related to the command in progress. Though I am not sure about this. gdb might make sure that unrelated output is not mixed with running commands. No idea about that.

Here it is:

=======snip==================
[1,133,772,933,238] (gdb) 
[1,133,772,936,751] 61 monitor mbox
[1,133,772,936,753] &"monitor mbox\n"
[1,133,772,936,787] @"Box at 0x320dd56c: 0 messages\n"
[1,133,772,936,798] @"Total 1 boxes\n"
[1,133,772,936,802] 61^done
[1,133,772,936,803] (gdb) 
=======snap==================

Several "Box at ..." lines for more mailboxes. My current example has only one.
I invented the format myself, of course, so I can make any modifications which would be helpful.

What are you planning to do? Will you fix the code (minor fix, just add a line or two in org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core.RxThread.processMIOutput(String buffer)). Or shall I go through the enhancement-request-post-patches routine?

Thanks,


Norbert Ploett

Norbert,

Ok, now I see, though I am not sure that writing the monitor output to the 
program console is a right thing. But that's a question more to the gdb 
folks.
I checked the code and I can't see any negative consequences of collecting 
this type of data.
Can you post the output of "monitor" in mi format including token?

Thanks,
Mikhail
