             Bug #: 15184
           Summary: Cannot change dprintf style to agent for existing
                    dprintfs
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: breakpoints
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: marc.khouzam@ericsson.com
    Classification: Unclassified


Updating the dprintf-style to 'agent' for existing dprintfs will cause: "May
only run agent-printf on the target" when it is time to print and it will
interrupt the inferior.

Here's a session showing the problem:
