Is it possible to implement a gdb-client with gdbstub?

[TD-Sky]

Excuse me, I learned gdb remote serial protocol first time today so my question may seem silly.

I wanna construct an auto-test application with gdb and found gdbstub finally. After learning its examples I concluded that gdbstub is a library for setting stubs in the code so the emulator can serve as a gdbserver.

So, is it impossible to use gdbstub to implement a gdb client?

You are correct - gdbstub cannot be used to control a GDB client. It is only used to implement remote targets that a GDB client can connect to.

A cursory search shows that there are some other Rust crates out there that allow controlling a GDB client. I haven't used these myself, but they might be suitable for your project.
