Hello Doug,
Thanks for trying the test program. What I was referring to was
the messages like the following to be outputted on the screen with
the patch applied..


Program exited normally.
(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/chandru/r
Hardware access (read/write) watchpoint 2: value1
Hardware read watchpoint 3: value1
Hardware access (read/write) watchpoint 2: value1
Hardware read watchpoint 3: value1
Hardware access (read/write) watchpoint 2: value1
Hardware read watchpoint 3: value1
Hardware access (read/write) watchpoint 2: value1
Hardware read watchpoint 3: value1
Hardware access (read/write) watchpoint 2: value1
Hardware read watchpoint 3: value1
Hardware access (read/write) watchpoint 2: value1
Hardware read watchpoint 3: value1

Breakpoint 1, main () at rwatch.c:20
20          value1 =3;
(gdb)

I was using a distribution supplied gdb-6.8.50 and found that upstream
gdb shows the same behaviour.  gdb-6.6 outputs these messages
without the patch when a program is restarted.

Thanks,
Chandru
