Subject: Using telnet to control a running GDB
Date: Sun, 28 Nov 2010 18:28:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <F7CE05678329534C957159168FA70DEC572E0C0DCD@EUSAACMS0703.eamcs.ericsson.se> (raw)

Hi,

I saw a neat feature in another debugger that I thought would be nice for GDB.

The user could ask GDB to open a tcp port which would accept a telnet connection.
Using telnet, the user could then start a _second_ shell to the same GDB and control it.

This would help a user get a full-fledge GDB command shell, even when GDB
is being run by a frontend.

It would also allow the remote controlling of a running GDB.  Could be useful
for troubleshooting.

Such a feature wouldn't already exist, would it?

Thanks

Marc
