            Bug ID: 15879
           Summary: "catch syscall fork" doesn't do what users think it
                    will do
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: dje at google dot com

On linux (at least for awhile) fork() is implemented with clone().
To people knowledgeable about unix (or newbies), but not necessarily linux,
having gdb report success for "catch syscall fork" and then "not working" is
confusing.

GDB could help the user out a bit here.

--- Comment #1 from Tom Tromey <tromey at redhat dot com> ---
It would be nice to implement the same scheme that strace uses here,
to name related groups of syscalls.  Perhaps identically to strace.
