Bonjour
Is there a way to get "reliably" the inferior PID ?
Scenario, Eclipse/CDT debugger:
I'm using gdb/mi and to separate inferior output from the MI protocol we use
gdb --tty=...
The downside interrupting the inferior is now messy business
depending on the platfrom. Totally broken on Solaris, partially
working on GNU/Linux and windows.
I've already drop a PR on the solaris platform.
Solution:
I'm doing some ugly hack/parsing with
(gdb) info program
And retrieving the inferior pid to drop a SIGINT or whatever
it is call on windows(CTRL-BREAK ?).
Anyone having something more elegant/reliable?
Why is the pid(or whatever the host consider to be the "pid") available?
I undestand that it does not apply to remote/serial debugging.
Curious.
