Re: How to catch GDB crash

Thanks,

Most likely I've found the root cause: mi_on_resume() does not flush raw_stdout. I've added "gdb_flush (raw_stdout)" at the end of this function and everything seems to work fine.

Also, I've found a solution for Eclipse problem when it unable to work correctly after this "^running". On my mind it does not related to GDB (and to delayed "^running" :-) ), so I have no problems with GDB at this moment.

M-m-m, there is just one weird and minor observation: just after "target remote:12345" executed, Eclipse shows two identical threads: Thread[0] and Thread[1]. They are stopped at the same address. After I issued "-exec-continue" and GDB hits the breakpoint, Eclipse shows just one thread: Thread[1] with a correct call stack. Perhaps, I will have some time to debug it and get back if this is related to GDB.

Thanks!
Dmitry
