Product: gdb Version: HEAD Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: gdb Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org Reporter: dje at google dot com If I'm attached to a process, and then try to attach to a second process, gdb says a process is already being debugged and to proceed the first would have to be killed. I was expecting gdb to ask if I wanted to detach from the first process, not kill it. This was with target-extended remote, but I'm guessing it applies to native too. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
