Do we document packet "^QBDP" in "@node ReportAsync Packets"? It is a different packet from "QBDP", although the syntax is almost the same.

No, the QBDP is not need ^ now. It is translate through simple GDB rsp packet format now.



b.t.w, the name "^QBDP" doesn't reflect its functionality accurately. Literally, "Q{B|T}DP" means "download points", however, this async report "^QBDP" is about remote stub telling GDB that it has an autoload breakpoint in stream, please pick it up. So this packet should be named "^AutoloadBreak", or something similar.

It have download function too, both gdb to stub and stub to gdb use it.


Thanks,
Hui
