In Qt creator you can show a GDB mi console via the Debugger log window. But this is still mi output. I know you can disable the mi formatting at startup by passing an option to GDB, so that at least this extra mi formatting is removed. But this still isn't a *real* GDB console. (with emacs keybindings etc.)
GDB has a feature to start a new console in a terminal, see https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Interpreters.html look at the bottom. See also this presentation from slide 4 : https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/cauldron2016?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=Caudron2016-PedroAlves-GDBstatus.pdf As a poor mans solution, I tried this by typing in the above debugger log window "new-ui console /dev/pts/1" whith /dev/pts/1 the tty I want to use, but this doesn't really work well. I know Eclipse implements this in the CDT plugin. (see https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/Archive/FullGDBConsole) Any idea if it is difficult to add this feature also to QtCreator or if this is on the roadmap? Or could we make it work reliable somehow with the gdb new-ui command manually? I think this would be a useful feature. Best regards, Gino
