Yeah, I think there may be some useful features along these lines that could be done. There's nothing pre-canned, though. I do tend to think that debugging multiple totally unrelated inferiors is unusual. That is, gdb will probably provide more benefit than you might ordinarily expect. Though, based on bug reporting rates, I think any kind of multi-inferior debugging is still very rare. Tom
