It's a little trickier to get started, because you're not already familiar with exactly how GDB/MI looks; you probably know what the GDB CLI looks like. But the GDB CLI is unpredictable and guaranteed to generate output you can't parse. It changes between releases, between systems, and more. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
