Subject: restart capability in gdb?
Date: Fri, 15 Jan 1999 11:05:36 -0600

I'm interested in being able to capture a running process image,
storing it, and restarting it.  Your gdb debugger doesn't seem to
support this.  If that is an incorrect assessment, then I would
appreciate your telling me how this works.  The dbx debugger on SUN's
did have a 'restart' command if I recall correctly.

If I am correct in thinking that gdb doesn't allow process
saving/restart, then I might possibly be interested in working on
adding that capability to gdb.  I would need to know more details
about how that would work. An estimate from someone familiar with gdb
about how hard it would be to do would be something I would want to
know.

Thanks
