It uses the stdin and stdout of the child process for the remote protocol. It means you need to send console output over the remote protocol which could be considered a feature :) See ... https://github.com/RTEMS/sourceware-mirror-binutils-gdb/blob/master/gdb/gdbserver/remote-utils.c#L337 The nice thing about using a pipe is gdb handles the external simulator so you do not need to coordinate two processes. This makes scripting tools like rtems-test simpler. Chris _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@rtems.org http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
