GDB console and output

[philfine]

Great work in integrating GDB in this awesome editor.

I wonder if with your integration you might have the possibility to create a view to enable gdb console commands, just like vimgdb does it. Seems old fashioned but very powerful. I am considering to invest some time to code this integration if you evaluate it as a useful feature.

I am considering to move to atom, if I can perform everything I do in VIM. :-) Integration with GDB is a key element.

Best regards

This GDB feature, that is made for that: (new in 7.12)

• Support for running interpreters on specified input/output devices

  GDB now supports a new mechanism that allows frontends to provide fully featured GDB console views, as a better alternative to building such views on top of the "-interpreter-exec console" command. See the new "new-ui" command below. With that command, frontends can now start GDB in the traditional command-line mode running in an embedded terminal emulator widget, and create a separate MI interpreter running on a specified i/o device. In this way, GDB handles line editing, history, tab completion, etc. in the console all by itself, and the GUI uses the separate MI interpreter for its own control and synchronization, invisible to the command line.
