[Cgdb-devel] New libraries for CGDB

[Bob R. <bo...@br...>]

Hi,

It's been a long time. However, some of the developers of CGDB are ready
to start another round of development, which will make CGDB's interface
much more VI compatible.

There will be several new libraries created to ease the task of
implementing CGDB. libkui will be one of them. This stands for "key user
interface". It will be the library responsible for catching user
commands. For example, when you hit "5Control-wj" in vim, you expect vim
to move you down 5 windows. Well, libkui will be responsible for getting
these sequences and returning what command the user requested.

There will be several other libraries created and talked about in the
near future. I am proposing we place all of the new libraries in
cgdb/lib. This will be a new directory. Each library will get a
directory in cgdb/lib. For example cgdb/lib/kui. Finally, each of these
directories will have a src/ and inc/ which implements the library. So,
for libkui I will add
   cgdb/lib
   cgdb/lib/kui
   cgdb/lib/kui/inc
   cgdb/lib/kui/src

Does everyone think this is reasonable? If so, I'll add this
infrastructure to the CGDB CVS tree.

Thanks,
Bob Rossi
