Do you have a view of how this might look inside > gdbtui or ddd or Eclipse?=20 We are currently preparing Eclipse/DSF to support multi-process debugging, both locally and remotely. We should have something workable for September. But I'm not sure GDB will support this for linux or windows at that time. Note that I say "multi-process" and not "multi-program". The reason is that what we are doing will support multi-debugging using the 'attach' command. So, you can imagine having a running system with many processes, and you could then attach to multiple ones. Multi-program, gives me the impression that the debugged processes=20 will be started by GDB itself. I believe that is what Stan is=20 aiming at, right? This would also fit in Eclipse/DSF, but is not in our short term planning. But maybe later... Marc
