This presentation will give an overview of the status of the Windows port [1] of GDB, and plans for it. We'll talk about:
- Windows debug API particularities.
- Non-stop mode, and how we're planning on implementing it on Windows.
- Ctrl-C handling and what is different on Windows.
- The GDB testsuite, why nobody is running it on native Windows, and what can we do about it.
- PDB (Program Database), Microsoft's debug info format.
- More.
[1] There's actually both GDB as a Cygwin program, and GDB as native Windows program, with MinGW, which could/should be considered two ports, though for some of the topics discussed, they're essentially the same.
