However, there are some bugs +and there is missing functionality compared to a port targeting the Linux +kernel ([[tag/Open_Issue_GDB]], [diff of +testresults](http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/web.git/tree/gdb/test.diff?h=toolchain/logs/master)). +For example, there is no port of [[open_issues/gdb/gdbserver]] available yet. +Identifying (together with the mentors), and then addressing one or a few of +these items is the goal of this project. + +Required knowledge: Have an understanding about how GDB works generally, how it +interacts with an operating system. Some GNU Mach and Hurd knowledge will have +to be acquired while working on the project. + +Possible mentors: [[Thomas Schwinge (tschwinge)|tschwinge]]. + +Exercise: Begin writing a document to describe how the GNU Hurd port of GDB +works internally, how it interacts with the Hurd system, and compare it to a +port targeting the Linux kernel. Fix one of the Open Issues or testsuite +failures. |
