I don't know the details. But nowadays gdb supports DAP, as any other debugger: https://www.sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb.html/D...

Are you talking about this, or the old https://www.sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb.html/G... ?

Thanks, I hadn't seen that, seems like it was just released a year ago. Seems like a step forward. I was talking about GDB/MI, which was the main (only?) option for decades and could still be considered the "native" frontend API of GDB.
