[Bug breakpoints/13457] New: `catch syscall' doesn't work after`fork' is called


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13457

             Bug #: 13457
           Summary: `catch syscall' doesn't work after `fork' is called
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: breakpoints
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: sergiodj@redhat.com
    Classification: Unclassified


Given this simple example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  if (fork () == 0)
    printf ("Child\n");
  chdir (".");
  return 0;
}


When a syscall catchpoint for `chdir' is inserted, GDB does not stop and the
program runs until the end.

However, if we set `follow-fork-mode' to `child', then the catchpoint triggers
correctly.
