Re: GDB GUI

[Marco Menegazzi <mene.thebear@gmail.com>]

Thank you.

I've already seen that documentation but my problem is that it does  
not explain how to connect to this interface through code. It explains  
how it is but not how to use it ... I want to connect through my java  
code but the only idea I have is to call it directly from the code  
with Runtime.exec ... but then I ask myself why to use gdb/mi that  
returns a more complex output instead of calling directly gdb and  
parse the stout to get what I want?

Sorry if my questions appear to be stupid but I'm very new of this ...
