Thanks!
But how does the gdb process access the memory spaces in the program being
debugged?
If the object program uses ioperm and iopl to get the permission to
read(write) IO port, can the gdb access the IO port also?

Thanks.

The latter; gdb and the program being debugged are separate processes.
