// PURPOSE: This module provides the support to have a gdb
// connecting to a valgrind process using remote gdb protocol. It provides
//  * A function to allow a tool (or the valgrind core) to
//    wait for a gdb to connect and then handle gdb commands.
//    Typically, this can be used to let the user debug the process
//    when valgrind reports an error.
//  * A function allowing to instrument the code to support gdb breakpoints.
//  * A function allowing the tool to support watchpoints.
//  * A utility function to help implementing the processing of the
//    gdb_monitor_command strings.


// Function to be used by tool or coregrind to allow a gdb to connect
// to this process.
// Calling VG_(gdbserver) with tid > 0 means to let a debugger attach
// to the valgrind process. gdbserver will report to gdb that the
// process stopped in thread tid.
// Calling VG_(gdbserver) with tid == 0 indicates to close
// the connection with GDB (if still open) and stop gdbserver.
//--------------------------------------------------------------------

/* VG_(dyn_vgdb_error) gets its initial value from
   VG_(clo_vgdb_error).  It can be changed after initial command
   processing in order to enable/disable the call to VG_(gdbserver) in
   m_errormgr.c.  The main reasons to change the below is either
   because the user updates it via a monitor command or to
   (temporarily) avoid calling gdbserver for error reporting during
   monitor command handling.

/* defines the various kinds of breakpoints that gdbserver
   might ask to insert/remove. Note that the below matches
   the gdbserver protocol definition. The level of support
   of the various breakpoint kinds depends on the tool.

   For the moment, it is unclear how a tool would implement
   hardware_breakpoint in valgrind  :).

   software_breakpoint implies some (small) specific
   instrumentation to be done for gdbserver. This instrumentation
   is implemented for all tools in m_translate.c.

   write/read/access watchpoints can only be done by tools
   which are maintaining some notion of address accessibility
   as part of their instrumentation. watchpoints can then
   be done by marking the watched address(es) as not accessible.
   But instead of giving back an error (or whatever the tool
   wants to do with unaccessible mechanism), the tool must then
   just call gdbserver. See memcheck for an example of reusing
   accessibility for watchpoint support.

// To produce some output which is subject to user output control via
// monitor command v.set gdb_output or mixed output, use VG_(printf)

   keywords is a set of keywords separated by a space

   kwd_report_duplicated_matches : the error msg will show only the
