Ah yes. Commands that are sent in CLI format from CDT
are echoed back by GDB.
MI commands are not. We could improve things, but
before doing that:

A month ago, there was a new
feature proposed for GDB that would allow to telnet into a running
GDB
to control it. My hope is
that we could then run a terminal in Eclipse and get a full-featured GDB
console
using that telnet
session.
I'm hoping for history,
command-completion, prompt, and all the nice things the gdb command-line
offers.
We would probably need to use the
nice terminal provided by the TM project.
I haven't had time to try to the
patch yet:

Should be
nice!

I
mean this:
[New Thread

n
n
22
cout << "!!!Hello World!!!" << endl; // prints !!!Hello
World!!!
Having
it echo back the second ‘n’ looks dumb. Also hitting the enter key doesn’t
repeat the last command like it does in gdb, it does nothing. That leads you
to lose faith that it’s going to do what you want.
We
should be running interactive consoles in a terminal view-like environment (or
the terminal view itself if it can be repurposed that
way.)

You
don't actually need to select the gdb node in the debug view. That is
just a way to
easily
make the gdb console jump to the front. You can select the gdb console
from
the
console view and then pin it, so that it does not get replaced by another
console.
About
the echoing to the console, what do you mean?

Re: [cdt-dev] GDB Console view
Definitely
a usability issue. Playing with it yesterday I also notice it’s a bit weird
in how it echoes to the console. I wonder if it needs its own view,
something like the terminal view. Anyone else have
thoughts?
:D
The thing I was missing is selection of the 'gdb' node.
Everything is working when this node is selected.

Launch a debug
session, select the 'gdb' node in the
debug view, then
type n (next) on the console.
You should see the
code step to the next line.
No?

Make sure you

The 'gdb traces'
console is only printing the communication with
GDB
but does not
accept input. Well, it does accept input but it does
nothing
with it.
The idea was simply to allow the user to add empty
lines
or some comments
directly in the trace, but nothing else.
I was trying with gdb console, not with gdb traces
:-(

Can GDB console view be used for manually
entering GDB commands? It seems to accept anything I type, but
doesn't seem to send that to GDB.
