A few notes on gdb improvements that would help the GUI:
|
|
|
|
* The dprintf code here required some hacks.
|
|
Some kind of I/O redirection capability would be helpful.
|
|
Also this would require being able to subclass a dprintf breakpoint.
|
|
Alternatively, a hook on a Breakpoint that is called when a
|
|
linespec is resolved would work. Right now you can't make a pending
|
|
"gui dprintf".
|
|
|
|
* Some events are missing. This means the GUI can't properly react to
|
|
changes. For example:
|
|
* No "new breakpoint" event. (And this in turn means that more
|
|
breakpoint types must be exposed.)

|
|
* No "new shared library" event.
|
|

|
|
* No "new thread" event.
|
|

|
|
* No "frame selection" event, e.g. when user types "up".

|
|
|
|
* The "set font" and "show font" commands need a bogus doc string to
|
|
avoid either a doubled doc line or printing that the command isn't
|
|
documented. And, "set font" prints a line unconditionally, see bug
|
|
14513.
