Subject: [PATCH] gdb: add -a option for remove-inferior
Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2016 17:45:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a8bebqug.fsf@catern.com> (raw)


I find myself frequently wanting to wipe out the current set of
inferiors: detaching from all of them, or killing them all, and then
starting anew. A -a flag to the various inferior commands which currently
just take ranges of ids would make this a lot easier. Does that sound
like a reasonable enhancement?

If this patch is acceptable I'll go ahead and add -a flags like this to
all the inferior commands where it makes sense, and add docs, and
resubmit.


This adds a -a option for remove-inferior; when passed, all inferiors
will be removed.
