GNU Debugger

[codonell]

I would like to request that we add the GNU Debugger (gdb) into LFX Insights.

The GNU Debugger (gdb) is a foundational debugger for Linux systems with support for online debugging, post-mortem debugging, hardware watchpoints, breakpoints, memory inspection, multi-threaded debugging (all-stop, scheduler locking etc), and more.

Currently the gdb sources are hosted on Sourceware (https://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git) . The repository is a shared repository with the GNU Binutils (binutils) which is proposed in a distinct discussion.

If you need a gdb mirror we have https://github.com/gnutools/binutils-gdb officially up.

Noted that https://insights.linuxfoundation.org/project/bminor-binutils-gdb?timeRange=past365days&start=2025-03-25&end=2026-03-25 exists and should be replaced with a proper GNU Debugger project.
