Re: RFC: MI output during program execution


Note that for a truly asynchronous target, what you get is:

(gdb)
-exec-continue
^running
(gdb)
-exec-status
^done,status="running"
(gdb)
-exec-interrupt
^done,reason="signal-received",signal-name="SIGINT",signal- meaning="Interrupt",thread-id="1"
(gdb)


Or something like that... So in that case the ^running really is the equivalent of the ^done...

Yeah - I'm beginning to think that we should use this:

(gdb)
-exec-continue
*running
^done
(gdb)

Instead of the current:

(gdb)
-exec-continue
^running
(gdb)

It'd definitely have to be mi3 only, though!  This would be a pretty
big change that frontends would have to adapt to.

The asymmetry between ^running and *stopped will bite us here.  For
instance, for a CLI command, I'd want roughly:

(gdb)
-interpreter-exec console "continue"
*running
^done
(gdb)

Anyway, food for thought.
