[Valgrind-developers] Remote gdb stub?

[Greg P. <gp...@us...>]

I can't get db-attach to work reliably on Darwin (the time between 
fork and exec is very fragile on Darwin). Instead I'm writing a gdb 
remote debugging stub inside valgrind. 

Has anyone else done this before? I can't be the first one to try.

The initial plan is to allow inspection of the process state, but not 
execution or breakpoints. On the other hand, I think most execution 
primitives should work fine; instruction-step is hard, but the rest 
should be easy.
