Re: [cdt-dev] CDI-GDB features missing from the DSF-GDB implementation

Is the GDB console treated as a first class citizen?

The GDB console is an important part of an embedded developers
everyday life. It is not a dirty secret that it is the job of the GUI to hide.
Often it is supplemented by a telnet session into the
hardware debugger.

Some examples:

- make the console visible upon launching debug session
- add (gdb) prompt. This makes the developer feel more at home.
- tab-completion(I'm not sure this is available from the MI protocol).
