Someone described this earlier, but I'll try to make it a bit more clear. In the child, do something like this:

	int main(void) {
		static int foo = 0;
		while (foo == 0) {
			sleep(1);
		}
		...
	}

That'll cause the child to spin on startup. Attach with gdb, type 'p (foo = 1)' at the gdb prompt, and then go from there.

Yeah, it's more complicated than that. I basically have to do that in the child AND the parent, because the parent will time out in the time it takes me to do all that for the child. (Also, keep in mind that the child begins to execute on the return from fork(), not at main).


If I do go to all this trouble, will I get to debug the child in the GUI debugger, or will I have to do everything from the gdb command line?
