debugger addin for mingw

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this list, and i had a question to pose. Is it possible to add new debugger interfaces to Xcode? I've figured out how to add a new compiler, and i'd like to be able to debug the generated apps through Xcode.

I've added compiler support for MinGW (since MW has killed cross compiling/debugging). I want to debug remotely on a windows box from inside of Xcode. The SSH remote debugging can be made to work like this, however, Xcode insists on using unix-style paths on the windows machine. I would also have to make some sort of proxy-style application to replace the real GDB on windows so that the loaded application would run in the context of the logged-in users desktop as opposed to the non-existant desktop of the SSH session. I suppose i could translate the paths on the fly from the gdb-proxy- app, and i've resigned myself to doing this, but i thought i would check first.

I didn't know compiler addins were possible until i saw that IBM was doing it and subsequently made one myself, so i figured it was worth a shot to check on the possibility of doing a debugger addin this way.

Ultimately, i would like to do something much nicer and less hackish while maintaining my ability to set breakpoints and step through etc. in Xcode. So i'm open to any ideas. The paragraph above was just some simple brainstorming on the subject.

Thanks!


Brandon
