- Subject: [PATCH] target attributes [0/5]
Hi,
Some GDB targets may have some special attributes that are specific to that target, such as hardware registers, software flags managed by a stub or agent, and so on.
These patches add new function target attributes to handle them.
GDB can access target attributes directly, or through agent code that is running on the target.
A target attribute may include name, id, type, access mode, the
breakpoint type, and a breakpoint address.
Target attributes are solely defined by the target and supplied to GDB during a debugging session. The target supplies them in XML format.
To get more info, please see the doc patch.
Thanks,
Hui
