I'm actually hoping to use this feature directly from Eclipse, to
provide a full-fledge GDB-console within Eclipse, with
- prompt
- command completion
- command history
- synchronization with the Eclipse UI
This is something that has been in demand from Eclipse users for
a long time.
I haven't tried the patch just yet, but I'm eager to do so and hope
to have time in the coming weeks.
Thanks!
