Hi,
I'm posting this mail following the advice of B. Kuhn.
I'm currently working on my own little project (a software testing tool)
which is using a personnal "libraryzed" version of gdb (symply a full
archived gdb with a light main subprogram). Indeed, the internal APIs of
gdb give me the right level access to executable symbols, for a lot of
binary formats and platforms.
This organisation of my soft needs modifications of GDB : I think it's
not a good solution. I'm now thinking about building my own API to
communicate with GDB by pipes, examining outputs of "maintenance print"
commands.
Has anybody ever worked on such API ?
One already exists for gdb; checkout of the files in the gdb/mi directory;
for documentation, read gdb/mi/gdbmi.texinfo.
I don't know offhand whether this is in gdb 5.0, but it is certainly
in the CVS repository. Checkout http://sourceware.cygnus.com for
information on how to access the repository.
