Subject: Can gdbmi process many commands at once?
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2015 01:21:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150320012207.GB25457@linux> (raw)

Hi,

I'm trying to determine if GDB/MI has the capability of accepting and
working on multiple commands at once?

For instance, if I run these commands,
    (gdb) 
    123-interpreter-exec console "p argc"
    ~"$3 = 1"
    ~"\n"
    123^done
    (gdb) 
    234-interpreter-exec console "p argv[1]"
    ~"$4 = 0x0\n"
    234^done

Is there any mode in which the command,
    234-interpreter-exec console "p argv[1]"
will be worked on before
    123-interpreter-exec console "p argc"
is finished?

The implication is that i'm expecting to have at most 1 command active
with GDB at a time. I'm curious if there is a situation where a front
end could have many active commands at a time. By active I mean, 
I issue several commands, and then some time later, I get a response
on each of these, in any order.

Thanks,
Bob Rossi
