Sorry, I thought that emerged from a card that said, "better debuggers"
The consensus was that gdb needed to be improved/fixed since gcc/gdb is
what is used witch Eclipse CDT (C/C++ support). The gentlemen from the
Russian Academy of Sciences are building an LSB plug-in for Eclipse. We
had more discussion on this in the LSB meeting. There was a side
discussion about debugging threaded applications, but that was tabled.

That sounds confused. I was in the development tools meeting,
and I think the consensus was that Visual Studio-era
users want a good IDE, and the only open source IDE with serious
momentum is Eclipse, so we should start looking at making that work
well for LSB development.
I don't think we were talking about switching away
from gdb under the hood; as far as I know, the Eclipse CDT uses gdb,
and that's ok.
AMD's GCC compiler team said that since debugging is a combination of
GCC
output and the GDB debugger itself, it would be helpful to have some
examples where GDB seems to break down.
Yes. Well, for starters, there's
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&product=CD
T&content=gdb
and, for that matter, the 1200 open bugs at
http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=gdb
...
I guess what I'm saying is "let's give both Eclipse CDT and gdb itself
some love".
