Re: [cdt-dev] Evaluating the output of gdb monitor commands

["Mikhail Khodjaiants" <mikhailk@xxxxxxx>]

Norbert,

No need for a patch, but an enhancement request would be good. Just to keep 
track of changes.
The alternative solution would be the addition of a special MI command for 
this. Is it doable?

Thanks,
Mikhail

yeah, it is obviously the way it should be done according to the gdb
manual, and I don't see any other way to do it either (i.e. no other
response packet in the serial protocol that could be used).

Well, I guess that _any_ output from the application gets sent in 'O'
packets so for other commands things might be collected that are not
even related to the command in progress. Though I am not sure about
this. gdb might make sure that unrelated output is not mixed with
running commands. No idea about that.

Here it is:

=======snip==================
[1,133,772,933,238] (gdb)
[1,133,772,936,751] 61 monitor mbox
[1,133,772,936,753] &"monitor mbox\n"
[1,133,772,936,787] @"Box at 0x320dd56c: 0 messages\n"
[1,133,772,936,798] @"Total 1 boxes\n"
[1,133,772,936,802] 61^done
[1,133,772,936,803] (gdb)
=======snap==================

Several "Box at ..." lines for more mailboxes. My current example has
only one.
I invented the format myself, of course, so I can make any modifications
which would be helpful.

What are you planning to do? Will you fix the code (minor fix, just add
a line or two in
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core.RxThread.processMIOutput(String buffer)).
Or shall I go through the enhancement-request-post-patches routine?

Thanks,


Norbert Ploett

Norbert,

Ok, now I see, though I am not sure that writing the monitor output to
the
program console is a right thing. But that's a question more to the gdb
folks.
I checked the code and I can't see any negative consequences of
collecting
this type of data.
Can you post the output of "monitor" in mi format including token?

Thanks,
Mikhail
