I'd like to hear from people about how well remote debugging on GDB works. GDB 3.2 includes two example stubs for remote debugging, remote-sa.m68k.shar and remote-multi.shar. Have people tried using these? Do they work? Have people successfully used remote debugging with other remote stubs? There was one bug in remote debugging--GDB was caching data which was just *wrong* when it came to hardware registers. I don't think the cache was really all that effective (but could be mistaken), so I just disabled it (suggestions and flames welcomed). Feedback on cross-debugging (i.e. if the target machine and the machine on which you are running GDB have different architectures) is also welcomed. Jim Kingdon Free Software Foundation
