What are the limitations of GDB remote debugging?

What are the limitations of GDB remote debugging?

GDB remote debugging has several limitations, such as network latency, limited support for certain architectures, and potential security risks.

Can you explain how network latency affects debugging?

Network latency can cause delays in communication between the debugger and the target, making it harder to track real-time issues.

Are there specific architectures that GDB struggles with?

Yes, GDB may have limited support for certain embedded systems or non-standard architectures, which can hinder debugging.

What security risks should I be aware of?

Security risks include exposing sensitive data over the network and potential unauthorized access to the debugging session.

How can I mitigate these limitations?

You can mitigate these limitations by using secure connections, optimizing your network setup, and choosing compatible architectures.
