Re: GDB and LD_PRELOAD library-call interception
oh yes, thanks, that's an interesting command !
I was wondering if there could be a way to hack this exec-wrapper to
launch for instance the executable in an xterm window?
personally, I don't like debugging GDB with GDB from a single
terminal, so I need to do a pid-attach; "set exec-wrapper xterm" would
be very conveniant for any console-based interactive program, I guess
but it it possible to follow easily (two) forks?
let me know if you think that the idea is interesting / feasible
Cordially,
Kevin
