Hi Ripunjay,


You can learn a lot about one type of source code debugger from looking
at the GDB code. There is a lot of documentation on the GDB website and
wiki (http://sourceware.org/gdb/), including a manual documenting the
internals.


You may also find the application note I wrote on porting GDB to a new
target helpful: http://www.embecosm.com/download/ean3.html.


Hope this is useful,




Jeremy
