This could potentially be possible, if the objc code runs in the GC
environment. You could load MacRuby.framework from GDB (using
NSBundle), then initialize the runtime ([MacRuby sharedRuntime]) then
start an IRB session, by evaluating the right expression (-
[evaluateString:]).
Otherwise if the objc app does not run under GC I don't think there is
an easy way to support this feature.

Hello List,
Not sure about the feasibility of this, but wouldn't it be great to
break out into an embedded macirb session from inside GDB? Exploring
the state of a running application this way could really help with
debugging objc code.
If anyone has insights on how this could be accomplished I'd be
interested to hear them.
Cheers,
