hello,

is it possible to debug forked process

    if( ( pid = fork() ) == -1 ) {
       perror( "fork" );
       return -1;
    }

    if( pid == 0 ) {
      printf("I am a child");
      return 0;
    }

so, how can I make breakpoint at "printf" work (stop)?

Thnaks.

Thanks for advice. Tried to specify 

set follow-fork-mode child

in .gdbinit with no luck.

I tried using both the IDE and gdb command line. Unfortunately follow-fork-mode isn't working for me either.

I've followed up with our debugger experts and they are looking into a fix.

Hi , I just ran into the same issue and tried the 'set follow-fork-mode child' in .gdbinit with no success.  I tried raise(SIGINT) in the child but that didn't work either.

Has anything come of this issue?

Thanks,

Norm
