Sorry, yes, you're right; I should have looked more carefully. So we do need a new option; however I think it would be better for the new option to be a general qemuopts option, like this: -semihosting-config target=[native|gdb|auto] because that then gives us a place to put future semihosting related config options, and also allows the config files used by -readconfig/-writeconfig to change this setting. (We can have -semihosting-config have an implied 'enable=true', so you don't have to use the old "-semihosting" option if you're specifying -semihosting-config.) thanks -- PMM
