I think it would be nice from a GDB point-of-view, so, it would be nice if someone from the community would step up :-) > > Multi-program, gives me the impression that the debugged processes > > will be started by GDB itself.=20=20 >=20 > Could also be attached processes.

I had also imagined this as multi-process. You have a bunch of linux processes already running and you can attach to multiple ones. Like, say, vi and emacs. So, multi-process debugging would work for long-lived processes. I thought multi-program would launch different programs, which could then be short-lived. But that's how I imagined it... Marc
