Subject: [binutils-gdb] Report GetLastError value when DebugActiveProcess fails
Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2019 15:36:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191119153647.91817.qmail@sourceware.org> (raw)

commit c9739b6a06730b65df135766dec4c4d14d78bd38
Author: Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com>

    Report GetLastError value when DebugActiveProcess fails
    
    When DebugActiveProcess fails, the error message is fairly generic:
    
        error (_("Can't attach to process."));
    
    It would be more useful for diagnosing problems if the Windows error
    code was included in the message.  This patch implements this.
