[RFC 0/3] Wait for inferior after attaching

[Tankut Baris Aktemur <tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com>]

Hello,

The second patch of this series uses 'wait_for_inferior' to wait for
events right after attaching to a process, instead of using the main
event loop for events and the inferior continuations to finish the
inferior setup.

I explain some existing problems in Patch 2 and propose
'wait_for_inferior' as a potential solution.  I'd like to post this as
an RFC because the inferior continuations are elegant and eliminating
their use makes me think that I'm missing something.  However, it may
also be the case that since the time continuations were introduced and
used, GDB has evolved significantly and the original motivation is
perhaps no longer there.  The attach and remote-target start flows are
the only places they are used.

Regards,
Baris

  gdb: wait for inferior after attaching instead of adding a
    continuation
  gdb: remove inferior continuations
