Re: GDB Darwin

["James Boulton" <james.boulton@eiconic.com>]

Are there any docs on where to start with something like this?

The BFD settings from Apples branch are all present in GDB 7.2 i.e.

  arm-*-darwin* | arm-*-macos10*)
    targ_defvec=mach_o_le_vec
    targ_selvecs="mach_o_be_vec mach_o_le_vec mach_o_fat_vec "
    targ_archs="bfd_arm_arch"
    targ_underscore=yes
    ;;

However building with that doesnt do anything useful.

How do you actually go about implementing a new target? Most of the 
functionality is present (mach-o, arm, darwin) but it needs glueing together 
correctly.

Thanks,
