(gdb) target remote |foo-elf-sid --stdio

[Andrew Cagney]

Hello,

GDB's remote command supports a pipe mode (it's supported it for some 
years now).  It lets GDB communicate with a sub-process using the remote 
protocol via that processes stdin/stdout.  The command syntax is:

	(gdb) target remote |command to run with arguments

Can SID be modified to support this mode? It is easier to script then 
the current: start sid; start gdb; connect.

enjoy,
Andrew

Yes.  In fact, I believe it was done once as a proof of concept.
Naturally, the standard input/output from a process emulation
component would need to be diverted to a Tk terminal window or some
other location so that it doesn't get interleaved with GDB protocol
chatter.

Agreed.
