[PATCH v4 16/17] gdbstub: Implement qGDBServerVersion packet
Posted by Alex Bennée 6 months, 2 weeks ago
From: Dominik 'Disconnect3d' Czarnota <dominik.b.czarnota@gmail.com>

This commit adds support for the `qGDBServerVersion` packet to the qemu
gdbstub  which could be used by clients to detect the QEMU version
(and, e.g., use a workaround for known bugs).

This packet is not documented/standarized by GDB but it was implemented
by LLDB gdbstub [0] and is helpful for projects like Pwndbg [1].

This has been implemented by Patryk, who I included in Co-authored-by
and who asked me to send the patch.
