I was looking into adding a parameter to target_detach, and was wondering what the args parameter was. It seems like in the distant past, it was possible to specify a signal number when detaching. That signal was injected in the process before it was detached. There is an example of code handling this in linux_nat_detach. With today's GDB, I can't get this to work. Doing "detach 15" (15 == SIGTERM) doesn't work, because detach is a prefix command and doesn't recognize the sub-command 15. Doing "detach inferiors 15" doesn't work because it expects a list of inferior id to detach. Therefore, I don't think there's a way of invoking detach_command with a non-NULL args. I also didn't find any documentation related to this feature. I assume that this feature stopped working when detach was made a prefix command, which is in f73adfeb8bae36885e6ea248d12223ab0d5eb9cb (sorry, there's no commit title) from 2006. Given that this feature was broken for such a long time and we haven't heard anything (AFAIK, I did not find any related bug), I think it's safe to remove it, as well as the args parameter to target_detach. If someone wants to re-introduce it, I would suggest rethinking the user interface, and in particular would suggest using signal name instead of numbers. I tried to fix all the impacted code, but I might have forgotten some spots. It shouldn't be hard to fix if that's the case. I also couldn't build-test everything I changed, especially the nto and solaris stuff. gdb/ChangeLog: * target.h (struct target_ops) <to_detach>: Remove args parameter.

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.
