Hi!
Some information about the gdb-TUI I'm working on. I think I reached
some interesting and usable point.
- gdb-tui has two modes. A curses mode (tui) and a normal mode.
When configured with --enable-tui, you have the support for both
modes. You can switch between the two modes by using either
CTRL-X CTRL-A or CTRL-X A (very useful to switch!).
- in curses mode, gdb-tui can display the source file and arrow/page up
page down keys scroll the window (useful so that you don't need the
gdb `list' command). The gdb history is still accessible with CTRL-P/N.
- in curses mode, the registers can be displayed; they are formatted
using `do_registers_info' so that the output should be portable
accross all gdb targets.
- the tui code now uses the gdb hooks to be notified of breakpoints,
frame, symbol file and register changes.
- We can kill all TUIDO from gdb sources.
- Most of #ifdef TUI and tui_version checks in the gdb sources are
removed.
I have a bunch of patchs for all this.
1/ A set of patchs to cleanup the gdb sources;
2/ A first patch to add FSF copyright to tui files with the following
credit to HP: `Contributed by Hewlett-Packard Company'.
3/ A patch to cleanup STDC stuff
4/ A patch for tui hooks (a la insight)
5/ A patch for tui IO (gdb/cli/readline interactions with tui)
and some other patchs that I've not yet assigned an identity.
For 1, I would like to have them in 5.1 (if possible, approved, ...).
I'll try to submit in a few days.
For 2-5, I don't know. May be a branch is better.
I need some advices here.
Stephane
