Re: Summary of differences between FSF GDB and ST's Micro Connectversion


Hi,

A couple of comments from SuperH...

The current version of gdb available from ST is based on 5.2.1.

There are indeed some changes that can only really be classed as hacks. This
was mainly in response to pressure to release something usable to users and
our changes should not be considered to be complete.

We intend to rebase our changes on 5.3 when time permits and also to resolve
in as clean a fashion as possible all 'workarounds' that have been
implemented.

We also intend to submit the changes for consideration by the maintainers in
due course.

This willingness to get it right is very much appreciated.


This is very much 'work in progress'.

I don't really want to go into the reasons for the introduction of the
'fork' command right now as the explanation would be somewhat lengthy. If
anybody's interested then please contact me directly.

Just an aside, are you aware of:


(gdb) target remote |program

that is, talk to `program' using the remote protocol.

Andrew
