[[!meta title="GDB's non-stop mode"]]

[[!tag open_issue_gdb]]

GNU GDB's `gnu-nat.c` doesn't support *non-stop* mode.

Also, from [[!message-id "200810131935.35253.pedro@codesourcery.com"]],
GNU GDB's Pedro Alves:

> I also notice that when going through the shell in non-stop mode, it would be

> scheduler-locking to apply to the shell.  Basically, non-stop should be off
> if there are pending execs.  This was an existing issue, and doesn't affect
> linux today, so I'll just ignore that for now, as it needs more tweaking to
