Followups to hackers@. For those just tuning in, the patch under discussion is gdb.diff at: http://www.root.org/~nate/freebsd/ On Tue, 17 Dec 2002, Alfred Perlstein wrote: > I'd appreciate the default being such that when one quits gdb the kernel > begins running again instead of hanging for what seems like forever. The procedure now to get back to kernel running with a shared serial console/gdb line is gdb detach, quit, fire up terminal emulator on the serial port, and type "c" to ddb. I'm thinking of combining my patch such that if you enter gdb directly (via the new auto enter mechanism or a kernel option that defaults to GDB on break), doing a detach in gdb detaches and continues. States: "continue" "detach" ------------- DDB ----------- / (break) "gdb" \ running | \ "detach" / `------------ GDB ----------' (break/GDB_DEFAULT) Note that the transitions between GDB and DDB are not available if GDB is entered through the lower half of the loop. I'm open to suggestions on how to implement the lower half from a user's perspective. -Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
