According to empirical tests and by looking at the GDB sources,
'windows-nat.c' and, therefore, GDB running on Windows (mingw) does not
support non-stop debugging.
- What's the technical reason behind this? Was it just not ported to
that platform so far? Wasn't it done because it's tricky?
- What would be needed to support it? (Is the main required thing that
'displaced single stepping' is required for non-stop mode?)
Thanks!
