Hi,

I have added a new feature to the gdb which has its own CLI command. Now I want to interface this new feature to Eclipse. I am using the CDI for integration. I need a new MI command which I can use to call from Eclipse CDI interface.
I could not find any documentation regarding custom gdb/mi commands. Can anyone help me with the same?

Hi,

I want to add a new MI command to the MI interface of gdb. Does anyone know where I will find the source code for the MI interface with gdb? Is it part of the gdb source code?

Hello,

Looks like 'gdb' is missing debug information about the function 'cos' , and the debugger implicitly assumes all the functions return an 'int' , if the function is not compiled in debug mode.

I derive my explanation from the following test case.

1. Create a function 'double test_cos(double)' and compile it in optimized mode with -O3 using gcc
 "$gcc -c -O3 test1.c"

2. Complie the file containing the 'main' function in debug mode
"$gcc -g test.c test1.o -lm"

============[gdb a.out]====================

(gdb) list 0
1       #include <math.h>
2       #include "test1.h"
3       double    (*fcn)(double);
4       main()
5       {
6                double t;
7                 fcn = cos;
8                  t=cos(.2);
9                   t=cos(-.2);
10                      test_cos(.2);
(gdb) call fcn(0.2)
$4 = 0.98006657784124163
(gdb) call cos(0.2)
$5 = -1073792992
(gdb) call test_cos(0.2)
$6 = -1073792992
=====================================

============[test1.h]=================
#ifndef _test_1_h
#define _test_1_h
double test_cos(double);
#endif
====================================

============[test1.c]==================
#include<math.h>
#include "test1.h"
double test_cos(double a){
        return cos(a);
}
====================================

============[test.c]==================
#include <math.h>
#include "test1.h"
double    (*fcn)(double);
main()
{
         double t;
          fcn = cos;
           t=cos(.2);
            t=cos(-.2);
                test_cos(.2);
}
===================================

May be the developers of gdb can you more details.

also
=======================================
(gdb) call cos
$6 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0xc325d0 <cos>
=======================================
