Re: Compiling the latest GDB on cygwin
Dear Keith,
Thanks a lot for your information. I will be looking at the source code
carefully recently and see how much I can be of help.
Regarding the usefulness of Insight, there is some good news. The
Embedded Development Kit (EDK) from Xilinx (the largest company in
reconfigurable hardware, http://www.xilinx.com/) uses Insight. I believe
quite some researchers and engineers in the reconfigurable computing
area are using Insight for embedded system development.
Also, if you know about ModelSim from Mentor Graphics
(http://www.model.com/), you will see that Tcl/Tk is very important in
the EDA (Electronic Design Automation) world. Based on Tcl/Tk, I believe
that Insight makes a lot of sense in EDA. For example, it is very
suitable for tool integration issues.
Best regards,
Jingzhao

have been hesitant to do it (or any insight work for that matter): I
believe insight has outlived its usefulness, and most people are moving
onto other gdb front-ends.
