Hello, The GDB/MI interface seems to have become a defacto standard for integrating debuggers into a variety of environments. I would like to see the GDB/MI interface standardized so that debuggers that are built for heterogenous environments can write to that standard. In the same way that Dwarf is a standard and C++ is a standard, I believe that the community at large would benefit. These kinds of standards are revised and maintained by standards committies that most often include interested vendors. I am writing to this list as a starting point for discussions on this. I would like to get a standards committee going for the MI interface. While the gdb manual has the interface, there is now "standard" and I believe this would be beneficial.
