Subject: [RFA/RFC/DOC] Fix the different between behavior of "detach inferior" 	"kill inferior" and doc
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:14:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=+Xmn+fVFD9KVzGJA0MF8_XB4KHZCCOHPF=W=z@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

The doc said:
@kindex detach inferior @var{infno}
@item detach inferior @var{infno}
Detach from the inferior identified by @value{GDBN} inferior number
@var{infno}, and remove it from the inferior list.

@kindex kill inferior @var{infno}
@item kill inferior @var{infno}
Kill the inferior identified by @value{GDBN} inferior number
@var{infno}, and remove it from the inferior list.

But when I try this command:

(gdb) info inferiors
  Num  Description       Executable
* 2    <null>
  1    process 12089     /home/teawater/gdb/1
(gdb) kill inferior 1
(gdb) info inferiors
  Num  Description       Executable
  2    <null>
* 1    <null>            /home/teawater/gdb/1
(gdb)


Inferior 1 is not removed from list.

And I check the code in inferior.c:
  switch_to_thread (tp->ptid);

  target_kill ();

  bfd_cache_close_all ();
}

Look it doesn't want remove it from inferior list.

So I make a patch to update the doc.

Thanks,
Hui
