Hi,

If I understand correctly, you would like if Eclipse talked with GDB
using the standard CLI interpreter and pass MI commands with
interpreter-exec. My concern is that with CLI, you don't get the
asynchronous MI events such as =thread-created, which CDT really needs.

I agree, however, that the CLI experience is CDT is far from the real
CLI. If I remember correctly, it doesn't have history and
tab-completion. It would be nice if there was a way to get that for cheap.
