Re: GDB GUI

[Marco Menegazzi <mene.thebear@gmail.com>]

So if I am not interested in future developements of gdb, because I am  
not working on a gdb frontend but I only need to use gdb under my  
graphical application, could it be useful to interact with gdb instead  
of gdb/mi ? It is just a question to understand if I really need to  
use gdb-mi in my case ...
Thank you all for the answers.
