Great. This is what I was after. I only have the x86 Linux option to test.
First of all, do you have a copyright assignment? This is too big to
take without one. I see something that looks like you in the
copyright assignment list, but the associated employer disclaimer is
expired.
That is me. I will contact the FSF and get this updated.
After that's taken care of, I'd really appreciate it if you could
break this up into a couple of logical pieces. It makes them a lot
easier to look at. For instance, the register shadow cache is
independent of everything else.
Sure that is no problem.
The pipe changes are user-visible, so we should update the manual. I
can take care of that later.
I did notice the documentation and I am fine with getting that in-order.
The various low level back-ends have not be changed to printf_filtered or
warning. Should they ?
Yes, if we document that pipe is available for them.
Ok.
Using the pipe mode to run the linux gdbserver resulted in gdb being
suspended. I suspect a signal was passed up. It did not show up with the BDM
back-end because the target is not Unix process. Any ideas where I look ?
