That much I understand. But it's cc1 that is in two processes, and gcc -v only shows it being invoked once. Finally the output on stderr is only from one of the two processes.
Remove the finish type register and suddenly cc1 runs (as expected) and the logfiles PID and the console PID match once again. (To clarify terminology: gcc app being the driver here? I didn't think the plugins were loaded in the 'gcc' driver? Strictly from the compiler?)

That's correct. All plugin events are emitted from cc1/cc1plus/f951/jc1/lto1. These binaries are the actual compiler. 'gcc' is a driver process that calls the compiler, the assembler, the linker, etc. > Other plugin events do not appear to cause this behaviour. They should. All events are generated from the compiler, not the driver. Diego.
