--- Comment #16 from Pedro Alves <palves at redhat dot com> ---
Since it's a maintenance command, users should not rely on it, and it may
disappear at any moment without advance notice.
It's mainly a convenience for maintainers to try to reproduce issues that would
normally only happen on non-GNU/Linux hosts.
It changes an internal implementation detail, and other than "maint
target-async on" enabling support for more features, like background execution
commands and non-stop mode, it should not have user-visible side effects.
Once all hosts support "maint set target-async on", the non-target-async code
paths in gdb will be removed along with the command. That may take a long
while though, so I'm not holding my breath...
In sum, if you found a problem that led to the use of "maint set target-async
off", please let us know about it, if you haven't already, so we can try to fix
the problem properly.
