Currently, when the inferior exits, there is an event that looks like:
*stopped,reason="exited-normally"
or some other variant.
I gather this is not a considered option for multi-process?
It probably would have helped with backwards compatibility.
What notification would be used for single-process, after the
multi-process changes? Still *stopped... or will it be made in-line
with multi-process?
Thanks
