Subject: Why aren't inferiors deleted on exit or detach
Date: Tue, 06 May 2014 20:16:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <53694328.30907@codesourcery.com> (raw)
Hi
I've been struggling with the issue of when to delete inferiors, as I'm
working on remote follow-fork. It looks like inferiors are kept around
after a process exits or is detached or killed so that the user can
switch to the inferior and run it again. The argument vector for the
inferior is kept intact on exit/detach/etc.
Is my understanding here correct?
With "follow-fork parent" and "detach-on-fork on", GDB does *not* keep
an inferior around for the detached child. My guess is that this is
because the child inferior would just be a duplicate of the parent inferior.
Correct?
Thanks
