"a debugger's control"? Is this correct English?Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2011 09:10:52 -0700 From: Stan Shebs<stanshebs@earthlink.net>
This pair of patches plus Linux kernel module adds global breakpoints to GDB. + However, @value{GDBN} will not insert + global breakpoints into its own process, nor any process that is under + a debugger's control.
+ If the current inferior is included in @var{processes}, then the + breakpoint also acts as a normal breakpoint for the inferior.Not clear what you mean here. What is "current inferior" in this context, and how is the breakpoint different from a "normal" one if the current inferior is not included in the list?
+ Global breakpoints remain in effect after you detach from a process.Which one? There could be several.
Ouch! why is whitespace disallowed?+ The process specification is basically a comma-separated list of pids + and wild cards. The specification may not have any whitespace + embedded.
Why the slash?+ @item /* + Says the specification applies to all users' processes.
