There is no point in running multi-exec without target-async on, right? I mean, if I have two inferiors and I run one, there is no way for me to tell GDB to also run the second one? To do that, I have to=20 interrupt the first to get the prompt. I originally thought of using 'continue -a' to resume all inferiors, but the -a flag is only for non-stop it seems. Thanks Marc FYI, I'm asking because for all-stop in Eclipse, we don't use target-async. I know we probably should, but there was not big reason to make that change... until now maybe.
