[cdt-debug-dev] CDI wrapper for Microsoft command-line debugger CDB?

[Magnus Ihse <magnus.ihse@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've been thinking about writing a CDI wrapper around Microsoft's 
little-known command-line kernel/application debugger "CDB", which is a 
command-line version of the somewhat more known WinDbg. CDB can be found 
at: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/ddk/debugging/

CDB is in many ways similar to gdb (but with even more cryptical commands! 
:-)). The output seems quite straightforward, and (hopefully) easy to 
parse. Since WinDbg is already wrapping CDB in a GUI, it can't be 
completely impossible to to.

CDB can not debug gcc compiled binaries, but it can debug binaries compiled 
with Microsofts compilers, which gdb can't debug.

Having such a CDI implementation would greatly facilitate a migration from 
Microsoft Visual Studio to Eclipse/CDT.

Has anyone else been thinking about this?
