Non-blocking GDB Stub

[Mattias Wildeman]

Hello!

I've been using GDB for a while, running it with a ARM based board and a
serial connection (remote debugging).

To activate GDB, i'll install a breakpoint and then go from there.
Standard behavior.

Now, what i would like to do is to have GDB interactive without stopping
my program. Yes, this breaks some of the purpose of the debugger, but i
would like to use GDB to analyze memory and datastructures without
freezing the program. The OS i am running do support task-switching, so
i was thinking about placing the GDB exception_handler in a process.

Has anyone had experience with doing this? Or know of any place were i
could get more information on this? Is it even feasible?

I looked through Google, but was unable to find anything on this level.

Thank you for your time!

Regards,
