To: gdb@sourceware.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 X-IsSubscribed: yes Mailing-List: contact gdb-help@sourceware.org; run by ezmlm Precedence: bulk List-Id: List-Subscribe: List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: , Sender: gdb-owner@sourceware.org X-SW-Source: 2010-04/txt/msg00040.txt.bz2 Hi, I tried to use the latest GDB CVS version with Eclipse Galileo DSF Debug launch, and it failed to launch a debug session. I looked at the differences with Fedora's GDB7.0 that works in the same environment and found out that the way MI reports threads totally changed. Some notifications have changed (eg. thread-group-created became thread-group-started), the way to identify thread groups has changed (thus breaking the way Eclipse did that query)... All that changed with the introduction of Multiexec MI. This leads to some questions: - Was that expected? - What kind of backward compatibility does the MI interface provide? - Is there a GUI working with the latest GDB and supporting the Multiexec features? Thanks! Fred
