I do not see the point. GDB/MI talks to a terminal or a pipe. If you want to connect that pipe to a TCP socket, GDB doesn't need to know that it's a socket. You can use netcat to connect an arbitrary process to a bidirectional TCP socket. There's a bunch of other similar tools, too. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
