Each iteration of GDB leads to changes in both the MI and the CLI.

It would be interesting to > see the state of these front-ends and the problems encountered. Apple's Project Builder. The Eclipse project. The problems they have encountered have been turned into bug reports. See the bug database. The only big one is the console and both Apple and Eclipse managed to hack around it. Andrew
