Subject: Red Hat contributes the MI interface to GDB
Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2000 02:08:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <38A7D2FC.89F4AF8C@cygnus.com> (raw)

Hello,

As part of the ongoing development of libGDB, Cygnus Solutions (a Red
Hat company) is contributing GDB/MI - a machine oriented interface to
GDB.

Traditionally, third party GUI debuggers (such as ddd and xxgdb) have
relied on GDB's CLI when implementing debug functionality. 
Unfortunately that interface has proven to be highly unreliable.  GDB/MI
provides a new machine oriented interface that is far better suited to
programs wanting to directly parse GDB's output.

I've put the preliminary documentation for MI up on the web:

  http://sourceware.cygnus.com/gdb/onlinedocs/gdbmi_toc.html
or
  http://sourceware.cygnus.com/gdb/onlinedocs/gdbmi.html

the code will appear in the master repository shortly.

	enjoy,
		Andrew
