| |
Right now, CLONE_DETACHED threads silently vanish from GDB's sight when they exit. This patch lets report exit to the debugger, and then be auto-reaped as soon as it collects them, instead of being released as soon as they exit.
GDB works either way, but this is more correct and will be useful for some later GDB patches.
Please apply - thanks!
