Re: [cdt-dev] dbx debugger support in CDT

Yes it does work approximately this way.
If you really starting from the scratch and your debugger is not like 
gdb you can start with debug tutorial and small project they used (for 
artificial assembly language). Search for debugger tutorial on 
EclipseCon 2008.

More complex would be gdb mi implementation that is currently developed 
by DSF guys, this is still much simpler than current gdb/mi/cdi mess in CDT.
