Re: [cdt-dev] Question on future debugger interface
|
Hi Rick,
You may also want to consider the TCF debugger protocol currently being
developed in the Target Management project (see
http://wiki.eclipse.org/DSDP/TM/TCF_FAQ). It already has a reference
agent implementation (in C) that you could re-use, which would save you
the headache of implementing the MI protocol layer from scratch.
Also, as Marc pointed out GDB/MI protocol is evolving quite a lot to
support new features and keeping up with its changes will likely require
considerable effort. This shouldn't be a big surprise, as from my past
discussions with GDB developers I got the impression that GDB/MI as a
standard protocol to be implemented by other debuggers is definitely not
on their agenda.
Cheers,
Pawel

Hi all,
The open source Frysk debugger development
team(http://sourceware.org/frysk) is currently debating how best to
integrate with the Eclipse CDT plugin. We have been discussing the
pros and cons of the two different ways to interface: 1) have an API
library such as libfrysk or 2) use the current wire protocol used by
gdb/mi that is currently in use in the CDT.
The Frysk team would very much appreciate the opinion(s) of the CDT
developers as regards to which way they would prefer to see a debugger
interface with the CDT and why. Which way would make it the easiest
for developers to use?
Thank you in advance for your time.
Rick
