GDB developers suggest us to use GDB MI interface
« on: February 28, 2013, 02:25:00 am »
Hi, when report some gdb bug, the developer give us such suggestion. Comment 4.

If the GDB's annotation feature was removed, then we can't use GDB CLI under C::B. Note: the annotation feature was originally used for Emace.
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

Why are you surprised?
The CLI is made for humans not IDEs.
We will eventually switch to MI, but I have to finish some other tasks before I get to the plugin.
