Re: [cdt-debug-dev] CDI wrapper for Microsoft command-line debugger CDB?
|
Great idea! There have been discussions to implement the CDI wrappers for
the Windows API calls, but it needs a lot of work.
I haven't had a chance to look at the command language of CDB, but it may be
easier to implement mi wrappers instead of CDI wrappers. What do you think?
