I can certainly do that. I'm not that uncomfortable because I think
it was a bad idea - bad idea for us due to the overhead of providing
a stable API, and also a bad idea (IMO) for the users, as it is much
more flexible to have the debugging module as a separate process
(if the process SEGVs, you don't die with it, of if there is a bug
in GDB you can switch to a newer version of GDB without changing
version of your tool, etc).
But perhaps you're right. I did certainly think at first that a libgdb
would be great. So it might be interesting to have a note on the website
explaining that this is no longer a current project. At least people
won't think that the idea is new and exciting.
Anway, will send a patch along what you propose ASAP. We can choose
whichever we prefer.
