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
