[PATCH 05/10] GDBserver clone breakpoint list

Don Breazeal
2014-08-07T18:00:43Z

This patch implements gdbserver routines to clone the breakpoint lists of a process, duplicating them for another process. In gdbserver, each process maintains its own independent breakpoint list. When a fork call creates a child, all of the breakpoints currently inserted in the parent process are also inserted in the child process, but there is nothing to describe them in the context of the child. The child must have a breakpoint list describing them so that they can be removed (if detaching) or recognized (if following). Implementation is a mechanical process of just cloning the lists in several new functions in gdbserver/mem-break.c.

Tested by building, since none of the new functions are called yet. This was tested with the subsequent patch 6, the follow-fork patch.

Thanks,
