I am not sure I understood your question. If you mean: How can I use
gdb + gdbserver via a TCP connection, you do the following:
hostA (gdbserver)
$ gdbserver hostB:5555 prog-to-be-debugged
hostB (gdb)
$ gdb
(gdb) target remote hostA:5555
Notes:
1. the gdb documentation, although not clearly, explains this in
section 13.4.1.5
2. the gdbserver I am using DOESN'T enforce the connection to come from
hostB; this means that there is a race condition that allows the first
connection to hostA, port 5555 to grab the debugging section!
If you are interested I have a small shared library wrapper around
accept() to fix this.
