So I suspect if you view/dump these dll's you won't find the following:

So what? gdb works fine ( as fine as it work on win32).
But you are right- it miss DebugBreakProcess- which was not called from older version.
So: Current debuger plugin is not compatible with win2000

Many developers are restricted to the standard operating systems of their company, W2K is still widly used...

When MS will produce anything better than Win2K, I will.  It definetely can not be XP.

Well, ok. Self-defeating, but your choice.

Being two OS versions behind general usage is going to bring you more and more grief as programmers/companies find the older OS's not worth their preciously dwindling time.

I too liked w2k alot; I used to have a win2k partition, but it got used for Linux instead. It's just the way of the world.

And as old as I'm getting (old people don't favor change) I, begrudgingly, knew I had to forsake the older OS to support the new.

  I manage about 15-20 workstations. From DOS 5 up to  Gentoo 2006. WinXp is better than Win95. I`m not sure than it is better than NT4. So, I suppose it rated between 98SE and NT4. Nothing to compare with Lin or Win2K.

However, I put older debuger dll in current svn share folder and it looks like works.  :wink: What it is about?
If gdb does not use this missed call, it is not necessary.

Good thinking. That'll work until the plugin UI version next changes.

The DebugBreakProcess() and DebugBreak() calls in XP allow breaking a run away program, infinite looping, etc, just like Ctrl-C works in Unix.

CB added it to the debugger Stop button to allow a user to debug a loop,a runaway, or break at will to see a backtrace, variables, etc.

Evidently, it only comes with the XP kernel.
