From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Daniel Jacobowitz To: gdb@sources.redhat.com Subject: Who owns gdbserver? Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 22:12:00 -0000 Message-id: <20010620221224.A19552@nevyn.them.org> X-SW-Source: 2001-06/msg00168.html No one admits to it, in MAINTAINERS at least... I am considering some fairly invasive changes to it, between some signal problems I've been having, more Linux ports, and threads. It would be nice to establish a clear owner before I do that. On a related note, I'm trying to think of a way to eliminate some of the crasser code duplication between gdb and gdbserver - or rather, right now it's mostly a lack of code duplication, causing gdbserver not to work terribly well. The ideal solution would be to abstract the details of managing a Unix inferior via ptrace to the point where I can link the same files into gdbserver, but there are of course some intractable issues - setting the shared library debugging breakpoint, for instance. Before I begin working on this, does anyone have any thoughts? Is someone out there working on a similar thing before I waste my time? -- Daniel Jacobowitz Carnegie Mellon University MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
