Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1998 13:41:37 +0200 (MET DST) From: "Philippe De Muyter" <phdm@macqel.be> Am I the only one to have (sometimes) the problem of finding a non-executable with the same name earlier in my path than the program I want to debug ? Apparently. :-) But seriously, I don't think this change is a good idea. While it would work fine for native Unix debugging, it will lose for just about everything else. For both cross-Unix and embedded debugging you almost certainly want the programs *not* to be marked as executable, so that your current host doesn't try to execute them. However, if you set things up so that this test is only made when using a Unix child_ops, this would be a useful addition. Stan
