Sorry for the repeat...

Does anyone know why the "-exec-*" commands family in GDB MI is
declared asynchronous but in fact behaves synchronously (blocking the
interface until the execution completes)?

Thank you.

Asynchronous behavior depends on an asynchronous backend. At present only ``target async-remote'' is asynchronous (and then there's doubt that it still works), hence the behavior you're seeing.
