A gdb stub would be pretty cool. I could have used it lots already.
What happend to this?
Good question.
I was not terribly enthusiastic as most of my time is spent setting up the memory controller where gdb stubs simply cannot go. At least not until we can figure out cache as ram. Which unfortunately tends to be about as bad a setting up a memory controller.
So I figured romcc is generally and still do that romcc is a lot more useful.
In any case gdb stubs are fairly simple and I have some. So I might just integrate them into LinuxBIOS.
The painful part is adding exception handlers, and it would be nice to have exception handlers in any event so that mysteriously triggered exceptions can be caught.
