My search for gdb from Windriver reached a dead end.
I am putting this info on the mailing list for informative purposes.
Hi Denis,
I have spoken to the developers and what they said was even if the library is called gdb, there is
no gdb interpretor in it. This library is only a wrapper that will link the gdb interpretor in the
hostShell. The GDB commands are implemented in Tcl and can be found under
foundation\resource\windsh\Generic\tcl\gdbInterp directory. That is we don't use GDB as the way we
use in VxWorks 5.5. In VxWorks 6.0 we just have GDB commands implemented in TCL to debug from the
host shell.
Best Regards
Jatheen

Hi Jatheen,
If you look in Windriver/workbench-2.3/foundation/4.0.6/x86-linux2/lib/shell/
you will find shellinterpgdb.so this shared library is a rip off of gdb.
This can be launched from the host shell as a gdb interpreter
& Workbench is using gdb under the bonnet.
