Hi,

Is curently someone working on the CDB Debugger Plugin? There are a few funktions open and they cry out for implementation ;-)

No. Keep in mind that some of them aren't implementable.

But what version are you talking about? 10.05 or latest HEAD?

Martin K.:
Hi,

Wich one isn't implementable? CDB is a powerful debugger and its expandable.

I'm talking about the HEAD (8397)

Don't remember any more. CDB is not meant to be integrated in an IDE.
It could be powerful, but parsing its output is way harder than parsing gdb's output.

If you care for CDB support, provide patches and I'll see if they are good and I'll integrate them.
I don't use CDB and I rarely use Windows, so there are very little chances for CDB improvements in the future done by me.

CDB is generally a commandline wrapper for dbgeng.dll. Maybe it would to use the debug engine without CDB, i don't know (yet).
But i can try my best, should i extend the existing CDB over GDB part or should i write a new debugger plugin? What do you think?
