Description Tom Tromey 2023-05-19 15:07:55 UTC 
DAP specifies a Process event that should be emitted
when starting or attaching.  gdb currently does not do this.
Comment 1 Tom Tromey 2023-10-06 15:55:38 UTC 
See https://github.com/microsoft/debug-adapter-protocol/issues/439
... requested clarification of the meaning of "system process".
Comment 2 Tom Tromey 2023-10-06 20:30:30 UTC 
I have a patch to add this, but I wonder when it should be sent.
For "attach" it is currently sent after a bunch of other events
(new thread, new module).  That's probably too late but the spec
doesn't really say.

    Emit DAP "process" event
    
    DAP specifies a "process" event that is sent when a process is started
    or attached to.  gdb was not emitting this (several DAP clients appear
    to ignore it entirely), but it looked easy and harmless to implement.

    Add DAP items to NEWS
    
    Now that DAP is in GDB 14, significant changes to it should be noted
    in NEWS.  This patch adds a note for a fix that's already gone in.  I
    started a new section in NEWS because more changes are coming.
