Linux Debug window timeout

[secks]

I've been trying to debug a program that I leave running on over the weekend (takes a long time to segfault,) and the sleep for the debugging terminal is set to roughly a day.  It's currently set to 80000 + PID.  This should be set to something a little higher   80000 + PID + hour.  The problem is if you debug a process for longer than a day the terminal's "sleep 80000+" will timeout and you can no longer get any output.  I propose:

debuggergdb.cpp

Code

 cmd << wxString::Format(wxT("%d"),80000 + ::wxGetProcessId());

should be changed to

Code

 cmd << wxString::Format(wxT("%dh"),80000 + ::wxGetProcessId());

also, but not necessary:

Code

uniqueSleepTimeStr << wxT("sleep ") << wxString::Format(wxT("%d"),80000 + ::wxGetProcessId());

to

Code

uniqueSleepTimeStr << wxT("sleep ") << wxString::Format(wxT("%dh"),80000 + ::wxGetProcessId());

Here is the patch file is someone high up wants to implement it

Is there anyone in the dev group that can apply this?  It's really a pain when you debug a process overnight and BAM the window closes .. hellllpppppp

The suffix seems like a GNU extension, so a better fix is adding 000 at the end of value

That would work but the adding "h" makes it multiplies the sleep by 3600  .. if I leave a debug session open for 80000 hours I probably have an acceptable bug lol

Fixed in the branch, sorry for the delay...

You have made me a happy coder .. thanks!  I had a work around by sending SIGSTOP to the sleep process .. Although a few times I still forgot to do it and BOOM, there goes my debugging window .. haha ..

thanks again
