We are currently preparing Eclipse/DSF to support multi-process debugging,
both locally and remotely.
We should have something workable for September.
But I'm not sure GDB will support this for linux or windows at that time.
Note that I say "multi-process" and not "multi-program". The reason
is that what we are doing will support multi-debugging using
the 'attach' command. So, you can imagine having a running system
with many processes, and you could then attach to multiple ones.
Multi-program, gives me the impression that the debugged processes
will be started by GDB itself. I believe that is what Stan is
aiming at, right? This would also fit in Eclipse/DSF, but is not
in our short term planning. But maybe later...
