Time for that PyGtk rewrite... :)
I already started playing with that. Alas, with the "new" frysk ("new"
GDB?) coming up, I am not so sure that it is worth it.
Let's face it: Insight is in need of massive rewriting, barely
maintained, not developed, and is in licensing limbo. This last con is
enough to kill Insight IMO. Heck, it probably *has* been one of the
reasons why Insight is so stagnant (at least it is for me).
Good case for PyGtk, for sure, but unless I went with 100% GDB/MI
implementation (which I don't want to do), I would still need to either
rewrite or recycle all the glue code in gdbtk/generic.
Once again, it may simply not be worth the effort any more. It might be
better to simply contribute to Øyvind Harboe's stand-alone CDT debugger.
