Re: GDB code reuse for gdbserver?

Does this make sense?  (In other words, would such an approach be

I think we talked about this a few weeks back. The answer is a definite yes. What we should do, IMO, is have GDB depend on the gdbserver code. That way, we can think of implementing a gdbserver as the first step towards implementing a native GDB (or seen differently, if you have implemented a native GDB, then you should have a gdbserver for free). I think that Pedro also mentioned that the GNU/Linux nat support was now better in gdbserver as well.

That being said, I don't see this as an obvious task. But I would
certainly welcome it.



Topic for the BoF?

My sketchy memory suggests that there is an issue with licensing.
Is not gdbserver somehow less restrictively licensed than gdb?
