I think It like MI. MI support a PIPE interface. GDBRUI support a TCP/IP interface to other program. So the program that is in another machine can control GDB via TCP/IP. So I think maybe I can do some work to make MI support TCP/IP interface. How do you think about it? On 7/16/06, Nick Roberts wrote: > > > gdbserver supports TCP.
