You're right. But we can write the obituary on some of its
catchpoints, I think.
For lack of an HP/UX maintainer, I'd like to disable fork/vfork/exec
catchpoints and following on HP/UX. This is a necessary first step in
submitting the GNU/Linux version of these features; because I want it
to work for both local and remote debugging, I had to segment it
somewhat differently.
I'd also like to kill the clone_and_follow_inferior code, which was
never really functional; the switch is commented out with a reference
to an HP/UX 10.20 bug. We don't have the infrastructure to debug two
processes at once right now, anyway; and we don't have a general way to
clone the debugger and get a second terminal.
Unless someone has an objection, I'll submit a patch to do this on
Monday.
