You're right. But we can write the obituary on some of its catchpoints, I think. For lack of an HP/UX maintainer, I'd like to disable fork/vfork/exec catchpoints and following on HP/UX. This is a necessary first step in submitting the GNU/Linux version of these features; because I want it to work for both local and remote debugging, I had to segment it somewhat differently. I'd also like to kill the clone_and_follow_inferior code, which was never really functional; the switch is commented out with a reference to an HP/UX 10.20 bug. We don't have the infrastructure to debug two processes at once right now, anyway; and we don't have a general way to clone the debugger and get a second terminal. Unless someone has an objection, I'll submit a patch to do this on Monday. -- Daniel Jacobowitz MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
