+
+ <youpi> also, can you actually gdb a process of another subhurd?
+ <braunr> yes
+ <youpi> but you need to talk to its proc server, don't you?
+ <braunr> i don't know
+ <braunr> but i did it several times
+ <youpi> how?
+ <braunr> the usual way
+ <braunr> gdb /path/to/bin pid
+ <youpi> but which pid?
+ <braunr> the hard part was finding the right pid
+ <youpi> well, gdb still needs to talk with the right proc too
+ <braunr> i don't think it does
+ <youpi> btw about the "unable to adjust libports thread priority" errors
+ I'm seeing on the buildd consoles
+ <braunr> from what i've seen, proc "creates" tasks when it first sees them
+ too
+ <youpi> it's about the destination port
+ <braunr> yes
+ <braunr> i have those when starting a subhurd too
+ <youpi> so it would mean that proc somehow got bogus
+ <youpi> ah
+ <youpi> so you can actually use your own proc
+ <braunr> yes
+ <braunr> and it feels bogus to me
+ <youpi> and I guess mach lets that proc access the task because your proc
+ is privileged
+ <braunr> probably
+ <braunr> it feels bogus because, you can't rely on pids being allocated per
+ task
+ <braunr> what i mean is that, if some tasks spawn and die quickly
+ <braunr> and you start another application running long enough to see it in
+ ps
+ <braunr> it's pid will be +1, not +the number of created tasks
+ <braunr> which means the proc server will never have seen those previous
+ tasks
+ <braunr> it's minor but a bit confusing
+ <braunr> i personally don't like seeing the tasks of other systems in ps :/
+ <braunr> and despite the ability to use gdb from another hurd, i think we
+ should improve the intra system debugging tools
