2. I've searched around for multi-processing support within gdb, and I don't see much in the way of supporting debugging multi-processor systems. Specifically, if a processor has multiple cores, is there any standard convention for gdb to support this?
My initial idea was to have the proxy & ice support the multi cores, and
have the ability of two instances of gdb to be started, the first
instance would connect over tcp to port n, the second instance would
connect to the second core on port n+1. This way, 1 to n multi-cores
could be debugged and controlled. The downside is that there are no
native multi-processor commands in gdb, for example, a run would cause a
specific core to start running. There isn't a method of issuing a 'run
all' or a 'run group' to cause all the cores to or a group of cores to
start running.
