Re: [win32] Fix suspend count handling

I'd also like to ask you a question, concerning a comment from Pedro
several messages back that has stayed around in my mind since then.
It's not related with this specific thread title, but since it's
gdbserver/win32 related, I haven't found appropriate to open a new
thread just for this simple question.
The issue is near the end of:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-11/msg00041.html
It's about the fact of gdb win32-nat.c some time ago having the
interrupt functionality similar to the one that has been recently
implemented using SuspendThread (versus using DebugBreak kind of
functions). Pedro commented back then that win32-nat.c did have sometime
in the past a similar implementation [that must have been dropped].
Do you know/remember if it was dropped for a specific reason?
Humm, I guess I mistaked win32-nat.c for the winpdo-nat.c
files on Apple's gdb:
See in:
http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/tarballs/other/gdb-186.1.tar.gz
In src/gdb-next/winpdo-nat.c, you'll see a SuspendThreads mechanism.
The file header states 1996 as the latest copyright year, but they
may have easilly failed to update it. I'm not sure if win32-nat
ever had this mechanism, or if it was only added by Apple. Our
cvs history only goes back till 1999.
I did say: "I *think* that if...". :-)
