Christopher,
after examining your patch, I think there is a mistake inside.
Your patch uses a shell to start the debuggee and thus uses the flag
DEBUG_PROCESS instead of DEBUG_ONLY_THIS_PROCESS.
This means that you need to sort the events and only handle the events of the
the second process created.
First question:
- is it sure that the shell will never call any process before
running the executable that it has as argument?
To sort the events and only handles those of the process that you want to debug you use
saw_create variable.
But this variable is incremented each time a process is run.
Starting value is -1
shell starts value is 0
debuggee starts value is 1 so the events are handled, here its OK.
but if the debuggee starts another process then saw_create is incremented past 1 and
no event is recorded anymore => the program is stuck....
The following patch seems to overcome this bug.
2002-01-08 Pierre Muller <muller@ics.u-strasbg.fr>
* win32-nat.c (main_process_id): New variable. Used to only handle the
events from the debuggee.
(get_child_debug_event): Set main_process_id on the
CREATE_PROCESS_DEBUG_EVENT.
Use main_process_id to check if a given event should be handled
by the debugger.
