I have a set of patches applied to FSF GDB, and it generally
works, but there are, uh, some regressions. :-)
Do you think this work will make it to HEAD before March next year?
I hope so! I'm down to about three main breakages to fix, and we have a
design decision to make, namely whether to have a single target stack
shared by multiple inferiors, or make multiple instances of the target
stack.
As the multi-process work seems to be progressing quite well, I was
wondering if it was time to
start looking at MI again?
Yes, now would be a good time. I had to neglect MI due to time
constraints on this project, but after people try their hand
at juggling
a half-dozen programs through the command line, I think an MI
alternative is going to get considerable interest all of a sudden. :-)
So does Vladimir and/or yourself have plans for MI to be enhanced
correspondingly
by the time this feature makes it into HEAD?
Not me, at the moment anyway. It's a little too big to sneak in amongst
my for-pay projects. :-)
