Re: GDB: "warning: Can't wait for pid ???: No child processes" (was: GNU accepted as a mentoring organization in GSOC 2014)

Hi Thomas,

   I want to make uim-fep ( https://code.google.com/p/uim/wiki/UimFep )  work with hurd,  it a front end processer, it's not work and I try to debug it.

   Because the program itself need hook the input and output,  so I can't use gdb to direct debug it,  I don't want to make the input/output dirty by gdb. 

   I use attach way to debug uim-fep, but when I continue, I got the message and current terminal dead even in ssh.

   So, how can I to make the attached process continue?

   That maybe some limit of hurd gdb.

 

   If it's some problem related to reparent process, when I use gdb server, that is no need to reparent, right?

Thanks,

Cong Zhang

It'd be more useful if you described what you're trying to do, and how
that's failing with native GDB debugging.  :-)


That said, last summer's gdbserver work by Yue Lu is available at
<https://github.com/hacklu/gdbserver/tree/gdbserver>.
