Subject: [remote protocol] Allow qSymbol response to continue packets
Date: Sat, 06 Mar 2004 23:52:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040306235253.GA10376@nevyn.them.org> (raw)

I'd like to propose the attached as an extension to the remote protocol.
The code implementing this change is here:
  http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2004-02/msg00000.html

From my original post:
  As Amit Kale mentioned in December, to support NPTL gdbserver needs to
  look up symbols during remote_wait.  The existing qSymbol model assumes
  that only at objfile loads (i.e. during td_ta_new) do we need to look up
  symbols; NPTL looks up symbols lazily when it needs them, which includes
  at the creation of the first child thread.  This patch (which, I know,
  needs a matching change for the manual) allows qSymbol: queries as a
  response to remote_wait, in much the same way as the file I/O protocol.

So here's the manual page and a description of the change.  Thoughts?
