- Subject: [RFC] remote: semantics of 'k' (kill) message
Andrew, you recently added this comment:
! FIXME: @emph{There is no description of how to operate when a specific
! thread context has been selected (ie.@: does 'k' kill only that thread?)}.
Maybe with a little discussion we can resolve this?
I believe the 'k' message is only sent in one context:
when the user asks gdb to kill the inferior process.
On a native system, that is clearly interpreted as meaning
to kill all of the threads. Is there any reason why we
should not agree that it means the same thing on an
embedded target?
