I had been pondering renaming "target child" to something else. "child" is a little lie in case of "attach", and not exactly very clear to users, IMO. By best suggestion is "target native". If I were to explain what "target child" is, I'd just start out with "it's the native target" anyway. I was worrying a little that "native" might be a lie too if some port comes up with a default target that can run but is not really native, but I think that's a very minor issue - we can consider that "native" really means the default built in target that GDB supports, instead of saying that's the target that debugs host native processes, if it turns out necessary. This change doesn't affect users much, because "target child" results in error today: (gdb) target child Use the "run" command to start a child process. Other places "child" is visible: (gdb) help target ... List of target subcommands: target child -- Child process (started by the "run" command) target core -- Use a core file as a target target exec -- Use an executable file as a target ... (gdb) info target Symbols from "/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/gdb". Child process: Using the running image of child Thread 0x7ffff7fc9740 (LWP 4818). While running this, GDB does not access memory from... ... These places will say "native" instead. I think that's a good thing. gdb/ 2014-05-21 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * inf-child.c (inf_child_open): Remove mention of "child".

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
