Short gdb question.
Is this the right place to suggest that gdb be upgraded for cygwin. If not where could I suggest that? If this is an acceptable place then can I add here that if you guys do upgrade gdb that I was hoping you could make it a bit more detailed maybe make it to show a bit more information about crashes. An example is that I m working with a linked list and when the program crashes gdb prints out and only prints out the words below this text. I am left clueless about the error.

Question about kill
Hey I'm not sure what version of cygwin I am using but I can't seem to kill a server program with kill and I was hoping someone here might be able to shine some light on the subject. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Re: Question about kill
Well kill program_name didn't work and kill -9 is pretty much what I am looking for. Does it matter if you are gonna overwrite the program if you use kill -9? marco atzeri wrote: On 5/4/2012 2:11 PM, Eric Blake wrote: On 05/04/2012 05:51 AM, marco atzeri wrote: Usually kill -9 your_program_name works very well Usually 'kill -9 your_program' is overkill; it forcefully terminates the program with SIGKILL, which means the program has no chance to clean up after itself, and can leave your file system in a mess for the next time you attempt to run the program. You should reserve this for a last-ditch effort, only after the nicer 'kill your_program' (SIGTERM) or 'kill -s INT' (SIGINT) both result in no action.

Does it matter if you are gonna overwrite the program if you use kill -9? You have to answer it for yourself. Do your program write any critical state chages to a disk, when exits or at any point in process? Is it writing logs?
