Re: [RFC] PTRACE_ATTACH problem on new Linux kernels


But Roland made a very convincing case for this new behavior; for
programs like strace which just pass all signals through, this prevents
SIGSTOPs being silently cancelled, which is a definite plus.

Er, humor me. Does it work?


GDB's problem was that it would pass down the sigstop and then promptly get it back again (via wait?). Wouldn't strace suffer the same problem? Unless the sigstop really is delivered that is.
