Hi,
it is possible that gdb gets mach exceptions from an unknown inferior. This happens when an inferior
creates a child and that child gets a signal.
So instead of reporting messages with unknown origins, simply reply to these notifications. The kernel
will then post the unix signal.
Committed on trunk.
Tristan.
gdb/
* darwin-nat.c (darwin_encode_reply): Add prototype.
(darwin_decode_exception_message): Reply to unknown inferiors.
(darwin_decode_message): Handle message by id. Ignore message
to unknown inferior.
(darwin_wait): Discard unknown messages, add debug trace.
