Trust me, I do know these disavantages quite well
You can get an impression by looking at
gdbint.pp source, which is the unit that
does connect GDB connect GDB code to pascal:
http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/packages/gdbint/src/gdbin
t.pp?view=log
I wouldn't recommend anyone to use the same approach indeed.
But I didn't yet get enough time to really reimplement
everything using MI interface...
