Re: Intrusive GDB Symbol Lookup when debugging remotely

Hello,
No-one responded to this, but I'm sure someone on this list understands
how difficult it would be to implement a new handler for a signal to run
gdb in a "Local" mode when connected to a gdbserver. I'd really
appreciate an estimate of how much effort this would be, or where in the
code to start looking.
In theory, "target async-remote" does what you're looking for - it runs
the inferior in the background letting you interact with the local
symbol table.
In reality though, that code hasn't been tested in years ..... We need
something like native GNU/Linux being made async giving us a mainstream
async target.
