There isn't a lot out there that I know of. One reasonable source for
basic information was written by Vern Paxson some years back and can be
found at:


ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/papers/debugger-support.ps.Z


Another project that you might be interested in is Dynascope, which
provides what they call a "Program Directing Platform," which includes
a library of debugging functionality. More info can be found at:


http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~sosic/dynascope.html


Of course, you can also go rooting around in the gdb source if you
really want to understand how things are implemented. There is some
documentation about the internals of gdb that might be of some use if
you take this approach. It is written as an info file that I believe you
can get somewhere on a GNU mirror if it isn't already packaged with the
gdb source.
