Subject: [binutils-gdb] gdb/Cygwin: Fix attach pid error message
Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2024 15:21:05 +0000 (GMT)	[thread overview]

commit 43ca4ec2996a6bfbb8726f1c753aeb85fe0f92a4

    gdb/Cygwin: Fix attach pid error message
    
    On Cygwin, with "attach PID":
    
     - GDB first tries to interpret PID as a Windows native PID, and tries
       to attach to that.
    
     - if the attach fails, GDB then tries to interpret the PID as a
       Cygwin PID, and attach to that.
    
    If converting the user-provided PID from a Cygwin PID to a Windows PID
    fails, you get this:
    
     (gdb) attach 12345
     Can't attach to process 0 (error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.)
    
    Note "process 0".
    
    With the fix in this commit, we'll now get:
    
     (gdb) attach 12345
     Can't attach to process 12345 (error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.)
    
    I noticed this while looking at gdb.log after running
    gdb.base/attach.exp on Cygwin.
