E.g., linux-thread-db.c pushes itself from a new_objfile observer (thread_db_new_objfile), and the spu multiarch target pushes itself from an inferior_created observer (spu_multiarch_inferior_created).
Thanks. I'll look into those examples. It'll take a bit but I don't think this is urgent.
Are you OK to push the patch to avoid the internal error and handle the re-connect
case in a separate series?
That patch might make sense for 7.10.1, as well. OK to push onto the 7.10 branch?
Regards,
Markus.
