The MIEngine allows sending commands directly to the underlying debugger (gdb/lldb).

To do so:

• View -> Other Windows -> Command Window
• Run: Debug.MIDebugExec insert-your-gdb-command-here

Notes:

• This is only supported when the target process is stopped
• Don't run commands that cause the target process to run again. Visual Studio will still be stopped and everything will get very confused.
