This is something you have brought up before on at various times, and
lists, and I thought once and for all to collate some knowledge here.
Given that you turn off follow-on-fork sometimes (in GDB) is that
mechanic useful for Frysk as well? Why do you turn it off? Is it because
of bugs, or more of a focus?
I ask mainly to collate user experience here and see if it's a valid
feature. In writing watchpoints I personally cannot see why
follow-on-{fork|clone} would ever be turned off, but it occurs to me
then that the mechanic might be desirable elsewhere.
What do you think?
Regards
Phil
