Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-SW-Source: 2002-08/txt/msg00112.txt.bz2 Hi, I've been testing the interpreter stuff with which I've been working on and off for a little while, and I have to ask: does anyone think it will be useful for someone to switch interpreters? $ gdb -nw -nx -q (gdb) set interpeter mi (gdb) OR $ gdb -nx -i=mi -q (gdb) -interpreter-set console (gdb) This is obviously a real nightmare to get working properly. I won't even mention what kind of havoc this could cause if someone using an MI-based UI did something like: -interpreter-exec console "set interpreter console" Would anyone care if I ripped out the ability to change interpreters on the fly? (I'm not going to touch interpreter-exec, just "set intepreter"/"-interpreter-set". Keith
