- Subject: Using telnet to control a running GDB
Hi,
I saw a neat feature in another debugger that I thought would be nice for GDB.
The user could ask GDB to open a tcp port which would accept a telnet connection.
Using telnet, the user could then start a _second_ shell to the same GDB and control it.
This would help a user get a full-fledge GDB command shell, even when GDB
is being run by a frontend.
It would also allow the remote controlling of a running GDB. Could be useful
for troubleshooting.
Such a feature wouldn't already exist, would it?
Thanks
Marc
