-Subject: Re: [patch] print a more useful error message for "gdb core"
[ Fixed up since the mail. ]
(captured_main->pid_or_core_arg) is also autodetected (for PID or CORE) but
neither "attach" accepts a core file nor "core-file" accepts a PID.
-
The patch makes sense only with the build-id patchset so this is not submit
for FSF GDB inclusion yet. I am fine with your patch (+/- Hui Zhu's pending
bfd_check_format_matches) as the patch below is its natural extension.
-
Sorry for the delay,
Jan

* exceptions.h (enum errors <IS_CORE_ERROR>): New.
* exec.c (exec_file_attach): Print a more useful error message if the
user did "gdb core".
