Ted, Thanks for your suggestions and help. We started it from 2.6.7 last year and then it was sitting idle for several months for lack of resources. We'll go back to that version and generate a diff that's easier to read. Yes, changing the name has made the task of rebasing wrt. changing kerne

2001-05-01 Thread Amit S. Kale
Hi, I mostly agree with Keith. kdb and kgdb have similar capabilities. kgdb can be used to do kdb like assembly level debugging too, though it needs some knowledge of gdb and kgdb internals. You can analyze any problems with either of the debuggers. You'll need to decide which debugger to go fo

Thanks for analyzing a possible scenario where gdb and kgdb could go out of sync. The gdb remote debugging protocol isn't quite safe whenever both gdb and stub try to talk to each other. There are a few other scenarios which occur more frequently. Some gdb developers are trying to make the gdb r
