I wrote the Ideas page, including that bullet point, but I'm afraid I can't help much. I just copied that item from the ProjectIdeas page, perhaps someone else will know? I can only point you to GDB's manual: http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb_toc.html In particular, look at chapter 11 - Tracepoints, D. 6 - Tracepoint Packets and E - The GDB Agent Expression Mechanism. I believe gdbserver doesn't support any of that, thus the project would probably be about implementing the features described in those chapters... > Besides, I wonder whether this is the right place to ask questions about > gsoc? Yes, you're welcome to ask about GDB-related GSoC ideas here. -- []'s Thiago Jung Bauermann IBM Linux Technology Center
