Does that mean that the gdb feature "tracepoint" does not actually works? Coz in order to do tracepoint, we must do that through remote debugging. And to do remote debugging, one can only use gdbserver or through some sort of serial ports. However, gdbserver does not support tracepoint and there are no stub avalible that can do this. So is there a way that I can test out on the tracepoint function? Thank you very much.
