Re: [cdt-dev] Question on future debugger interface

[Elena Laskavaia <elaskavaia@xxxxxxx>]

If you implement mi protocol it is less work on IDE side (just another 
launch config), however mi does not support all commands and mi 
integration use "CDI" (user gdb) commands too,  which makes it ugly.

The other approach is to create another implementation of this layer for 
your specific debugger, which would be more work but it may be more robust.
