[Mono-dev] Mono Debugger and Mono 2.4

[jonas echterhoff]

Yes. But in order to make it work, as far as i can tell, I also need  
to change the mono debugger itself. Right now, when I load a native  
application into the debugger, it won't try to find the debugger_info  
global structure, which is used to communicate with mono.

My question is mostly, since there is some "support" for native  
applications in mdb at this point (well, I can start an application in  
the debugger, and interrupt and resume execution), if there is already  
some workaround for this, or a plan on how to implement it. I  
obviously don't want to do special case code for unity which will be a  
pain to drag along in the future.
