           Summary: In non-stop, "-exec-continue --thread-group" will
                    resume all inferiors if the specified inferior is not
                    executing yet
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.2
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: mi
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: marc.khouzam@ericsson.com

Proposed fix

If I have an inferior started, and I create a second inferior, MI accepts an
-exec-continue command for the second inferior, even though it wasn't started
yet.  This happens in non-stop mode only.  What GDB/MI does instead is use the
pid 0, which causes all threads to resume, even for other inferiors.  I saw
this in 7.2, 7.3 and HEAD.  Below is a small session showing the problem.

Attached is a proposed fix which adds a check before trying to 'continue' an
inferior that was not started.
