Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone has a ``shortcut icon'' file I can add to GDB's 
web page.  The image, I guess, should be some sort of simplified Archer 
Fish.

enjoy,
Andrew

Hi,

I am reading the GDB's source codes, and see the word "inferior process"
many times (e.g. in gdb/inferior.h). But i don't understand what this 
really means.

Is "inferior process" a child process or a parent process, or something
else?

BTW, i only see function lin_lwp_resume() in gdb/lin-lwp.c, and wonder 
how to call/use this function.

Thank you.

The inferior is the process being debugged, however many threads or
LWPs it may be.

It's called via to_resume in the target stack.
