Folks,
the latest gdb snapshot can be run with the async functionality
turned on. At this stage, gdb includes an event loop that processes
commands. The behavior of execution commands like run, continue,
step, etc is still 'synchronous', i.e. you won't get a '(gdb) '
prompt back until the execution is completed. (Asynchronous execution
will be coming soon).
I would really like to receive some feedback on the event loop
functionality, before I turn it on as the default.
So, please, give it a spin by invoking gdb with the -nw and --async
options. From the user's perspective, running gdb with or without
--async should produce identical behavior.
Thanks
