I'd like to have a "live" view that displays the current values of specified watchpoints and/or register values. It would be useful to not have to check them manually all the time.

I agree. The plan, which may take a few months, is to redo the way cgdb
communicates with gdb using the gdb/mi protocol. I've been actively
working on this, and although I haven't touched it in a month or so, I'm
about to get busy on it again soon.

After that library is complete, it will probably be a good idea to
backport it into the current cgdb. At that point, some decisions will
need to be made regarding how to best improve the current design of the
front end. It's in poor shape and a redesign might be in order.

All of this will take time, but your idea is absolutely the path we are
taking.

Oh, thanks for the reply. (And so fast, too!) Sounds like you've got some great stuff in the works.

@brasko it would be great to have a more modular front end that could easely support multiple backends. Having both gdb and lldb would be nice.

Is this being worked on or added?

No. The problem is that our current communication mechanism
with GDB is not great. It uses the annotations GDB protocol.

I've been working on a new library that can talk to GDB
with the GDB/MI protocol.

It probably won't be ready for a while. When it is, we'll
be able to add more advanced features to CGDB like this.

Has there been any movement on this issue? A "locals" view and a "stack" view would also be very helpful.

Can gdb-dashboard be helpful?
