Tom> I totally forgot there were patches in this area, too :( Tom> I will dig them up and look at them. Well, ouch. Here are the threads I found http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-12/msg00322.html http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-11/msg00101.html http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-12/msg00018.html If you look through the monthly archives there are some detached sub-threads as well. I found it pretty hard to find the conclusion. IIUC what actually went in was a patch to have gdbserver read the remote /proc entries and serve them up verbatim, for parsing locally. For those opposed to "info proc" working on core files, if you are still opposed, let me know. I guess I can resurrect Sergio's "info core" command. Tom
