Hello,
Older gdb versions supported 'target cisco'. Function readsocket() allowed
to distinct between application output and remote communication protocol
packets, using escape sequence.
Now 'target cisco' support removed from gdb distribution. Is there any
standard way in gdb to multiplex remote protocol and application
input/output?
Thanks,
Yuri

Not really, but there's at least one tool that can do this, called kdmx
(specific to Linux but I believe it ought to be fairly portable).
I'm afraid that's all I know about the subject though.

Output, yes; there's an encoding for output characters mentioned in
the remote protocol spec. Input, I don't think so.

Our QNX pdebug protocol does it by defining different communication
channels for protocol messages and I/O. The support isn't rolled into
the FSF tree yet however and there aren't any clients other than
Neutrino. Wow. How incredibly unhelpful of me. ;-)
I know that Cisco has their support ported to newer versions of gdb but
I hadn't realized that they once had support in the main tree. I guess
they haven't gotten around to putting it back in.
cheers,
Kris

Sounds a little like 'annotations' to me.

Hi,
As an exercise, I restored 'target cisco' in gdb-6.3 (used code from
gdb-5.0). It was not difficult.
Then I found in the GDB manual "File I/O remote protocol extension". The
idea of this protocol extension is pretty much the same as Cisco hack: guard
application input/output, but the implementation is much more flexible.
I wonder, why nobody mentioned extended file IO.
