|

|
|
<dl><dt><code>kill</code><dd>Kill the child process in which your program is running under <span class="sc">gdb</span>.
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>This command is useful if you wish to debug a core dump instead of a
|
|
running process. <span class="sc">gdb</span> ignores any core dump file while your program
|
|
is running.
|
|
|
|
<p>On some operating systems, a program cannot be executed outside <span class="sc">gdb</span>
|
|
while you have breakpoints set on it inside <span class="sc">gdb</span>. You can use the
|
|
<code>kill</code> command in this situation to permit running your program
|
|
outside the debugger.
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>kill</code> command is also useful if you wish to recompile and
|
|
relink your program, since on many systems it is impossible to modify an
|
|
executable file while it is running in a process. In this case, when you
|
|
next type <code>run</code>, <span class="sc">gdb</span> notices that the file has changed, and
|
|
reads the symbol table again (while trying to preserve your current
|
|
breakpoint settings).
