Building a debugger on top of gdb

[Jeff Terrell]

Hi,

I'm interested in using GDB as the core component of a debugger for a high 
level language (call it HLL).

The HLL is translated into C++ and then compiled.

I would like to be able to debug an HLL application at the HLL level and 
the C++ level. I would also like to be able to switch seamlessly between 
the two modes during a debugging session.

Is what I'm suggesting feasible? Has anyone done something similar?

Any information on this would be most appreciated.

Regards,
Jeff.
