This example demonstrates a problem we have in Qt Creator
( Attaching to console processes fails, see 
http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCREATORBUG-1020 )

Qt Creator uses a process stub to run the debuggee in the case
of console processes. What we actually want is creating a
suspended process and letting gdb attach to it. Unfortunately,
the Windows kernel (Windows XP) runs amok when we attempt this.
So instead the stub starts a debugged process, eats all the initial
debug events, suspends the process and detaches from it before gdb is
attached. This has been known to work in MinGw-setups based on gcc 3.4.X.

Recent versions of gdb however do no longer break into the process. They print
several "running" messages and hang.

The example archive contains:
- demoapp: A simple demo console app with a input loop terminated by 'q'
- process_stub: A stripped version of the Qt Creator console stub
  that launches the demo process as described above and attaches gdb to it.
- test.bat: A test script that launches it

How to build
============

Prerequisites:
- MinGw with gcc 4.4.X
- gdb 7.X built for MinGw
- There must be no sh.exe located in the search path (for  mingw32-make to
  work correctly)

Build:
- Run mingw32-make in the directory gdb_test

Run:
- Check the gdb binary specified in test.bat
- Run test.bat

The demo application starts. In a 2nd console Window, gdb starts and
attaches. Instead of breaking into the process, it prints several "running"
messages and hangs.
