Is it possible to enter gdb commands in debug terminal

[tim37021]

OS: Elementary OS Loki(Ubuntu 16.04)
VSCODE: 1.11.2
CPP EXTENSION: 0.10.5

I am able to debug the embedding system remotely(arm-none-eabi-gdb).
I would like to enter some gdb commands to dump memory or register values.
however the debug terminal can only view variable values.

info breakpoints
-var-create: unable to create variable object
i
10000

@tim37021 if you preface them with -exec then it will work. so in your example it would be -exec info breakpoints.

What can you do without -exec?
Could -exec be the default for what happens in the debug console perhaps. It would make it much easier to transit into VSCode from gdb.

@HackerBaloo That would be nice, but VSCode uses it to do local variable parsing too. This is a special passthrough we had to add that when -exec is specified, that we would know to pass the command through without processing to gdb.

But everything the user writes should be prepended with -exec? But perhaps, if not totally automatic a little button to automatically prefix everything entered in the console?
