Re: [PATCH] Disable thread specific breakpoints when thread dies

But about the actual patch...

I'd like to minimize the amount that GDB plays with the user visible
state of breakpoints.  Can we arrange to just not insert breakpoints,
if they are thread-specific to a dead thread?  I think that'll work
too.

So you want to disable it 'unofficially'? I suppose that would be preferable, but I wouldn't know that best way to achieve it. I'll have a look though.

GDB already plays with watchpoints (deletes them in fact). At least it did in 6.3. That said I wouldn't complain if somebody 'fixed' them so that they were reinstated when the program returned to the right context.

Thanks
