[cdt-dev] Getting GDB error message in DSF-GDB

[Marc Khouzam <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

using DSF-GDB, does anyone know of a good way to have access to the GDB error message when an MI command fails?

From what I see, we include the error message within a string that says:

 

Failed to execute MI command:

-trace-define-variable marc

Error message from debugger back end:

Name of trace variable should start with '$'

 

I just want the last line, so as to show it to the user in an error line.

 

In AbstractMIControl, this full string is passed back to the requestMonitor as a Status with

the full string as the Status message.

 

Of course I could parse this string, but that doesn't seem very elegant.

I don't want to change the format of the string because I don't want to do all

the regression tests that come with it.

 

My thought is to create an Exception and put the backend message in there,

and then to pass that Exception in the Status (since right now, no Exception is passed).

 

If anyone has a better idea, let me know.

 

Thanks

 

Marc
