Hey Tom,
IIUC we are creating this new command because "info proc" was initially designed to provide information about a live process, right?
No, "info proc" was designed to provide information recorded about a process in the /proc filesystem. And a process that is dead does not have any information about it in /proc.
Oh yeah, I guess that's right. "info proc" first appeared in solaris-gdb, and then the other hosts that shared procfs.c (like Irix, I think) -- and then eventually appeared in linux gdb (although /proc in linux doesn't remotely resemble /proc everywhere else).
Are there any other gdb configs where the command appears? That is, other than linux and systems that use procfs.c?
