I'm having a strange issue with gdb. Currently I'm building a frontend
for gdb to augment its features easily. It uses Python and forks a gdb
subprocess that it communicates over stdin/stdout.
You may already be aware of this, forgive me if I'm telling you
something you already know...
gdb has python scripting support built in, see,
http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Python.html#Python
so you /might/ be able to achieve the augmentation you are aiming for by
writing python scripts that are loaded into gdb.
Cheers,
