Let me know what you think. If you want the dbg.log files, I can provide them.
I was kind of looking for an executive summary :-) I've attached a trimmed diff.
Two things:
- it should't be using --interpreter console ...
Can you and/or: add a new -mi-tty command (+test, +doco) and use that; invoke GDB with the --tty=... option. Your call. Either pre-approved (but get thumbs up from Eli on the doco).
- can the TTY output be identified in someway?
That might make debugging easier, but if it isn't possible I guess we live with that.
OK, I like this idea a lot. I'll make a new mi function that allows you to set a tty. I'll also make a new MI function that will allow you to retrieve the tty device being used, both GDB and the inferior.
Finally, I think it would be helpful to have GDB actually be able to create a pty for the front end. In case you didn't know, creating a pty can be a non portable task, and GDB should be capable of doing it every where it ports to. This would help out the Front Ends a lot. What do you think? Something like -mi-tty-new -mi-tty-close?
