Just FYI,
I'm currently aware of three significant and ongoing architectural
developments in GDB (I use the word `ongoing' loosely as like any work
it suffer from fits and starts):
o mi/libgdb/cli
An interface for building better
and more robust GUIs. If is signficant
as it involves separating the CLI
from the core of GDB.
o multi-arch
Allowing GDB to debug more complex
targets containing several architectures
o async/event-loop
Eliminating the assumption that
the world stops when the target
Beyond that I also know of some more localized development (C++
cleanup/revamp, harvard/segment architecture discussion, ...).
