Message-ID: <20020805175442.GA16152@cissol7.cis.nctu.edu.tw> References: <3D4C76AE.4050407@ges.redhat.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=big5 Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <3D4C76AE.4050407@ges.redhat.com> User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.1i X-Virus-Scanned: by AMaViS perl-11 X-SW-Source: 2002-08/txt/msg00019.txt.bz2 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. -- Best Regards, Zheng Jian-Ming a.k.a. zjm e-mail: zjm@cis.nctu.edu.tw
