Re: [patch] Fix Linux attach to signalled/stopped processes


I'm not sure if there was any question for me about kernel behavior in there.

As a gdb user, I have long been annoyed by the behavior on attaching to a
stopped process.  What I want is for attach to complete immediately and let
me examine the process.  If I then "cont", the process should go back to
what it was doing--sitting in job control stop.  Then fg or otherwise
sending SIGCONT will wake it up normally, and gdb should stop and tell me
about the SIGCONT like normal.


Thanks,
Roland
