Hi,

I've commented on 250037 and should be able to commit your solution soon but only for DSF-GDB.

Thanks for the patch

Marc

Hi,

This is very good news! I will definitely help with patches and testing.
Even without  having the new set of services, there is bug 250037 which
contains a patch affecting both CDI and DSF-GDB. I'm pretty sure this
can be applied to 6.0.2. I can strip out the CDI stuff if that's better.

Also, maybe it would be a good idea to have a wiki page with details of
each Apple gdb versions? I'm thinking MI commands, output, etc.

Cheers!

Marc-Andre
