Right, but what does it mean to say 'gdb' that's different from 'auto' ? What happens in that case if you don't have a gdb attached? > p.s.

I use a flow like: git format-patch -o ~/my-sent-patches HEAD^ # check that the ~/my-sent-patches/0001-whatever.patch looks ok git send-email --to=qemu-devel@nongnu.org ~/my-sent-patches/0001-whatever.patch but that does require you to have set up git send-email so it knows how to send emails. (You can probably do it in one command but I happen to have my main dev machine and the machine I send email from being different, so I copy the patchfiles around in the middle.) -- PMM
