RE: [cdt-dev] Renaming gdb

["Treggiari, Leo" <leo.treggiari@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mikhail, Pierre-Alexandre,

I could see adding the Debugger to the "model".  It doesn't have to be
part of the "tool-chain".  For example, we talked about external
libraries/SDKs being part of the model.  It seems to me that a
tool-chain integrator would normally want to provide/select the default
debugger for their tool-chain, so it would make sense for information
about a debugger to be provided in the same manner, and available to all
of CDT.  I would need some help in figuring out where to put the
debugger in the model, and defining the set of attributes and callbacks
that would fully define a debugger to CDT.

Regards,
Leo

Pierre-Alexandre,

Good timing. Yesterday I asked Doug the same question right after Leo's 
presentation. But we are not sure that the debugger backend's definition

fits into the description of a tool-chain.
I haven't followed the tool-chain related discussions very actively and
it 
would be nice to hear what the CDT community thinks about it.

Thanks,
Mikhail
