Subject: [RFA] Don't kill inferior if there's a typo in the specified port.
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2009 23:18:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090410231814.40469846AB@localhost> (raw)

Hi.

If there's a typo in the port gdbserver will kill the inferior.
This fixes that by calling detach_or_kill_inferior_callback
instead of kill_inferior_callback.

It also moves the status message to the callback;
it's only called when exiting gdb (and if that changes one can split
the function into silent/verbose versions).
An alternative is something like this:

-      fprintf (stderr, "Killing all inferiors\n");
+      fprintf (stderr, "Detaching or killing all inferiors\n");

but will that be confusing?
OTOH, if gdbserver ever gets used with 10's or 100's of processes,
exiting with one line per process may be a bit much.
OTOOH, the user might like to know what got detached and what got killed.
I don't know, but I can change the patch to do whatever y'all prefer.

Ok to check in?

	Don't kill inferior if there's a typo in the specified port.
	* server.c (detach_or_kill_inferior_callback): Print whether we're
	detaching or killing.
	(main): Don't print "Killing all inferiors", leave message to
	detach_or_kill_inferior_callback, which we now call instead of
	kill_inferior_callback.
