Define this to be able to, when a breakpoint insertion fails, warn the
user that another process may be running with the same executable.
-@item PREPARE_TO_PROCEED (@var{select_it})
-@findex PREPARE_TO_PROCEED
-This (ugly) macro allows a native configuration to customize the way the
-@code{proceed} function in @file{infrun.c} deals with switching between
-threads.
-
-In a multi-threaded task we may select another thread and then continue
-or step. But if the old thread was stopped at a breakpoint, it will
-immediately cause another breakpoint stop without any execution (i.e. it
-will report a breakpoint hit incorrectly). So @value{GDBN} must step over it
-first.
-
-If defined, @code{PREPARE_TO_PROCEED} should check the current thread
-against the thread that reported the most recent event. If a step-over
-is required, it returns TRUE. If @var{select_it} is non-zero, it should
-reselect the old thread.

@item PROC_NAME_FMT
@findex PROC_NAME_FMT
Defines the format for the name of a @file{/proc} device. Should be
When @value{GDBN} has a local version of a system header file (ex
@file{string.h}) the file name based on the POSIX header prefixed with
-@file{gdb_} (@file{gdb_string.h}).
+@file{gdb_} (@file{gdb_string.h}). These headers should be relatively
+independent: they should use only macros defined by @file{configure},
+the compiler, or the host; they should include only system headers; they
+should refer only to system types. They may be shared between multiple
+programs, e.g.@: @value{GDBN} and @sc{gdbserver}.
For other files @samp{-} is used as the separator.
