Gow to redirect output from gdb.exe in C#

[shravagiparag]

Hello,
I am developing a console application to invoke gdb session and log in the communication between my application and gdb.
I opened gdb as a new process and tried to redirect the input and output of the process to a streamwriter.But its not working.

I am able to redirect the standard input for the gdb process i.e. I can issue commands from my application to gdb but I am not able to redirect its standard output. The gdb process does not start itself. I also tried to pass "> myfile.txt" as a command line argument to the process while invoking for rediretion. But it also does not help.

Can somebody help me in this?

The sample code is here:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Diagnostics;
 
namespace TeeBetweenGDBAndIDE
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Summary description for Class1.
   /// </summary>
   class Class1
  {
    /// <summary>
    /// The main entry point for the application.
    /// </summary>
    [STAThread]
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        //
        // TODO: Add code to start application here
        //
        try
        {
            Process p = new Process();
            StreamWriter sw;
 
 
            StreamWriter swLogFile = new StreamWriter"C:\\DebuggerLog.txt");
            swLogFile.AutoFlush = true;
                           string strInput,strOutput;
            ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo("C:\\MinGW\\bin\\gdb");
 
 
 
            psi.UseShellExecute = false;
            psi.RedirectStandardInput = true;
            psi.RedirectStandardError = true;
 
                                                //Uncommenting the following line causes the process to crash whil starting.
            //psi.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
 
            p.StartInfo = psi;
            p.Start();
            sw = p.StandardInput;
            sw.AutoFlush = true;
 
            while(true)
            {
 
            strInput = Console.ReadLine();
            sw.WriteLine(strInput);
            swLogFile.WriteLine(strInput);
 
                                //               Cannot use following three lines as standard output for gdb cannot redirected above,
        //    strOutput = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
        //    Console.WriteLine(strOutput);
        //    swLogFile.WriteLine(strOutput);
 
            if(strInput.Equals("quit"))
            {
                swLogFile.Close();
                break;
            }
 
        }
    }
    catch(Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("The exception is : " + ex.Message);
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
       }
   }
}
