Adding a gdb console to nemiver...

[Seemanta Dutta <seemanta gmail com>]

Hi,

I saw the TODO list the other day and thought that it would be interesting if I take up implementing the 'GtkTextView' based gdb console for Nemiver.
This should work something similar to the gdb console that we get for DDD and the user should be able to give all valid gdb commands to it.

I had some queries regarding the same :

1. Is someone already doing any work on this? If yes, then I can join them? Or else, I want to jump start this new 'feature' work.

2.I guess the best place to add the console would be side-by-side the various consoles like terminal, call stack, memory etc that are already there in nemiver currently,
visible at the bottom pane.

3.  I went through the code and felt a bit confused :( . Can someone tell me where to start hacking if I want to add this gdb console ?
Any pointers as to which part of the code I should start looking at would be very helpful. Also, can you please tell me what would be the flow?
Like, first create the widget using glade, and then generate the xml file and then use libglade somewhere within the code etc. etc.

Thanks in advance,

regards,
