At present, it seems like 'detach-on-fork' variable is global for GDB instance. Should it be possible to have this variable,
or some other one, working per-inferior. So that, after I attach to a couple of system processes, I can automatically attach
to children spawned by one process but not another?
Here's the output that illustates what I'm talking about:
(gdb) inferior 1
[Switching to inferior 1 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) set detach-on-work off
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
(gdb) inferior 2
[Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) set detach-on-fork on
(gdb) inferior 1
[Switching to inferior 1 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) show detach-on-fork
Whether gdb will detach the child of a fork is on.
Thanks,
