I had little difficulty implementing the 'P' packet but implementing the 'G' packet looked to be a real pain. My first cut was to make 'G' return an error. Happily my stub work's fine. Looking at the source in remote.c it is clear that the statement in the last sentence of "D.1 Overview" in the gdb manual is inaccurate. A stub need not implement 'G' if it implements 'P' (at least if it is intended to communicate only with more recent releases). /john -- John S.
