Re: [Anjuta-list] Cross debugging?

[Biswapesh Chattopadhyay <biswapesh_chatterjee tcscal co in>]

Naba, I'm assuming that Bill G (wow ! with a name that close to Bill
Gates he's looking for trouble in the GNOME world ! ;-) wants to use a
gdb based cross-debugger which has a similar syntax for sending commands
and output. Otherwise, of course, most of the stuff like breakpoints,
watches, etc. wont work.

Yes, we do need to get a generic debugger front-end/back-end design. The
ROADMAP talks about it. The main problem is, of course, to get someone
to do the actual work :-(
