Stable and Reliable Engine
VisualGDB is built to provide maximum debugging comfort
even when the underlying GDB stops responding. VisualGDB
automatically detects "frozen" GDB commands and allows you
to abort a specific command, exit the debugging session
without losing your files or quitting Visual Studio or
sending a 'ping' to GDB.
Pinging GDB allows resuming the session if a reply from GDB was not delivered due to a network error or a GDB bug.
