<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">I suppose after this is approved, you would be working on parsing the xml that came from the gdbserver. Would it be only for shared libraries or you are also
interested in xml target description?</span></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, my calling code parses using libxml2, and the plan is to have libxml2 conditionally compiled and linked in (using the same mechanism that clang uses for the same purpose). I have that working also in the calling code.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I considered putting the xml parser in GDBRemoteCommunicationClient also but it seemed a bit higher-level than that class operates at. But I'm open to whatever people think here. One possibility would be to split the creation of the XML DOM and the walking of the DOM tree, and put the creation of the DOM in GDBRemoteCommunicationClient.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We are also interested in the xml target description but it's not a priority at the moment.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again for the review. I'll send out the modified patch before committing.</div>
