Thanks for doing this.  This is closer to how I imagined this wrapper
being written.

Pedro> +template <typename ErrorValType,
Pedro> +	  typename Fun,
Pedro> +	  typename... Args>
Pedro> +inline auto
Pedro> +handle_eintr (ErrorValType errval, const Fun &f, const Args &... args)
Pedro> +  -> decltype (f(args...))

It seems to me that errval and ErrorValType are unchanging properties of
the function being wrapped.  And, normally they are -1 / int.

Also is there ever a case where the return type isn't the same as
ErrorValType?

So maybe instead of requiring these to all be redundantly specified, the
template could use a helper template class that specifies these things
(defaulting to the usual), and then one would write:

pid_t pid = gdb::handle_eintr<::waitpid> (...normal waitpid args);

I'm not sure it's really worth implementing this, but it's closer to
what I was picturing initially.

Tom
