I personally use Linux at home, but I have to use XP at work. I know
what you mean and it must be frustating to have to use windows at all.
Have you not thought to ask if somebody else can mantain a windows port ?

I read your OpenOCD thesis and other documentaion and I found it much
more complex than I expected. A port to another platform can be
achieved without a detailed understanding of how it actually works.

The only thing I did not understand is why is was written in c and not
c++. I noticed in the code that there is quite a bit of use of
pointers to functions. This is not needed in c++ and it has genuine
benefits on projects that are ideally written in a very modular way.

It would be a shame if OpenOCD were to die off before it has had
chance to reach critical mass. Eclipse to me is an inspirational open
source product that has reached critical mass. The good thing about
this is that even it is not reliant on particular people to keep it
moving on.

The combination of Eclispe, GDB and OpenOCD together make a really
good debugger.

Long may it continue.
