Subject: Why isn't GDB designed and implemented by using Object-Oriented 	methodology?
Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2010 11:54:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTimffHXNNqQdr3QYa2xkL7dv33LuiCs1dtxuLBD4@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

When meeting so many structs and function pointer in the source codes,
dose anyone have the thought to redesign and implement GDB using
Object-Oriented  methodology?
Since one of the debugger's functions is to slow down the execution of
the debugee, implementing GDB by using Object-Oriented  language will
not observably affect the performance.

Open Source is a good idea. But it seems open the process of design is
much more important. After all, the development of a software is a
process, not just only a result presented by the source codes.With the
source codes, one can hardly see the design process.
