[GSOC] Question about the "Support tracepoints in gdbserver"

[GSOC] Question about the "Support tracepoints in gdbserver"

[Yu Ziyu]

Hello, I'm a student interested in the gsoc2009 project "Support
tracepoints in gdbserver".
My question is there any further dispcription on this project?
Besides, I wonder whether this is the right place to ask questions about
gsoc?
Thank you all! :-)

I wrote the Ideas page, including that bullet point, but I'm afraid I
can't help much. I just copied that item from the ProjectIdeas page,
perhaps someone else will know?

I can only point you to GDB's manual:

http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb_toc.html

In particular, look at chapter 11 - Tracepoints, D. 6 - Tracepoint
Packets and E - The GDB Agent Expression Mechanism. I believe gdbserver
doesn't support any of that, thus the project would probably be about
implementing the features described in those chapters...

Yes, you're welcome to ask about GDB-related GSoC ideas here.
