GDB/MI Best Practices


Hi all,

Is there a set of best practices for the use of the GDB/MI protocol to control a gdb instance from a graphical debugger?

I am curious about the best approaches (and any experience reports) to deal with issues such as:
*communication with the gdb instance (e.g. to use pipes or pty or ?)
*supporting successive gdb versions (e.g. where -thread-info is supported, vs not) i.e. fallbacks for omitted MI constructs
*pitfalls in using GDB and GDB/MI


Is there a catalogue of debuggers known to use MI? I can think of XCode (but that uses Apple's GDB, whose MI is different?) and Eclipse CDT.

Thanks,
George Russell.
