38 // PURPOSE: This module provides the support to have a gdb
39 // connecting to a valgrind process using remote gdb protocol. It provides
40 //  * A function to allow a tool (or the valgrind core) to
41 //    wait for a gdb to connect and then handle gdb commands.
42 //    Typically, this can be used to let the user debug the process
43 //    when valgrind reports an error.
44 //  * A function allowing to instrument the code to support gdb breakpoints.
45 //  * A function allowing the tool to support watchpoints.
46 //  * A utility function to help implementing the processing of the
47 //    gdb_monitor_command strings.
48 
49 
50 // Function to be used by tool or coregrind to allow a gdb to connect
51 // to this process.
52 // Calling VG_(gdbserver) with tid > 0 means to let a debugger attach
53 // to the valgrind process. gdbserver will report to gdb that the
54 // process stopped in thread tid.
55 // Calling VG_(gdbserver) with tid == 0 indicates to close
56 // the connection with GDB (if still open) and stop gdbserver.

63    m_errormgr.c.  The main reasons to change the below is either
64    because the user updates it via a monitor command or to
65    (temporarily) avoid calling gdbserver for error reporting during

74 
75    For the moment, it is unclear how a tool would implement
76    hardware_breakpoint in valgrind  :).
77 
78    software_breakpoint implies some (small) specific
79    instrumentation to be done for gdbserver. This instrumentation
80    is implemented for all tools in m_translate.c.
81 
82    write/read/access watchpoints can only be done by tools
83    which are maintaining some notion of address accessibility
84    as part of their instrumentation. watchpoints can then
85    be done by marking the watched address(es) as not accessible.
86    But instead of giving back an error (or whatever the tool
87    wants to do with unaccessible mechanism), the tool must then
88    just call gdbserver. See memcheck for an example of reusing
89    accessibility for watchpoint support.
