1105812 - run-gdb.sh should allow overriding GDB_PORT so as to more easily allow running gdb over ssh

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: GonkIntegration, defect)

Description

[Kartikaya Gupta (email:[e-mail])]

Using jim chen's instructions at http://www.jnchen.com/blog/2012/11/tunnelling-adb I can easily use adb on a device that is connected to a remote machine, but gdb is not so easy. If the run-gdb.sh script allowed the user to force a well-known port to use for GDB_PORT then this would work. You wouldn't be able to run-gdb on multiple processes simultaneously, but it's better than nothing.

r=me if you don't remove the lines in README.md about "To restart B2G and run B2G under gdb" (since they're still correct).

When I run the command it usually attaches to B2G without restarting. I can leave that bit in though.

Updated PR with the requested change. Flagging checkin-needed for merging the PR to the B2G repo.
