FYI, I tried doing the above (giving the original program space to the child with "follow-fork-mode child" and "detach-on-fork off") and I hit some problems. Attached to the program space is the list of shared libraries. So GDB would now think the parent has no shared library. I added a solib_create_inferior_hook call to force re-discovering the shared libraries in the parent. That seemed to work, but then in MI there were spurious =library-loaded events that made it look like inferior 1 re-loaded shared libraries. I'm also worried about what other per-program space is kept, that could cause some kind of trouble for the parent. So I will put this off for now, as it's not something that should be done in a rush, I think. In the mean time, I'll re-test this series and push it if all seems good. Simon
