Status update on how far we ar= e? Most of the gdbserver bits required for multi-process are now in mainline. I've left remote protocol support for follow-fork and follow-exec support in the branch, as I'm not completelly happy with the implementation there. Then there's a lot to do: 1) Basic native linux multiprocess support. 2) Add multi-executable support 3) Make breakpoints aware of execs/address-spaces/inferiors 4) CLI syntax for the 2-4 above 5) Shared-libraries per-inferior Plus a bunch of things mentioned in the MultiProcess wiki page that need to be fixed. #1 I'm cleaning up right now for submission. Maybe with this in place it will be easier to recruit some help. :-) #2 and #3 and #4 are in the multi-process branch, but, they need work to make it suitable for targets that share code across inferiors. There are a couple of hacks in there to fix too. #3 needs addressing of the issues raised in the wiki page. #5 needs doing. We're a few weeks away from having this done, hopefuly, before branch-time. --=20 Pedro Alves
