[dsdp-dd-dev] Using DSF to debug GDB

Hi,
 
as mentioned in our weekly meeting, I ran DSF-GDB to debug GDB yesterday.
I thought that was pretty cool!
 
For those interested, it is quite simple:
 
- Download the GDB source code and build it (with -g is better)
- Use the DSF Local Launch, in the Main tab use any C Project of your workspace
(need not contain any GDB code if you run DSF HEAD), and use as a binary the GDB
binary you built above (it need not be in your project.) 
 
You can then interact with GDB through the console and debug it with DSF.
 
You can also use the DSF Attach (local) launch if you want to start GDB from a terminal
before starting to debug it.
 
It was nice to see DSF step through such a big piece of software!
