Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Warn when accessing binaries over RSP
Date: Wed, 05 Aug 2015 15:28:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1438788496-32246-2-git-send-email-gbenson@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1438788496-32246-1-git-send-email-gbenson@redhat.com>
GDB provides no indicator of progress during file operations, and can
appear to have locked up during slow remote transfers. This commit
updates GDB to print a warning each time a file is accessed over RSP.
An additional message detailing how to avoid remote transfers is
printed for the first transfer only.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdb_bfd.c (gdb_bfd_iovec_fileio_open): Print warnings when
BFDs are opened via the remote protocol.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.trace/pending.exp: Cope with remote transfer warnings.
