GDBSERVER: Listen on a unix domain (instead of TCP) socket if requested.
When invoking gdbserver, if the COMM parameter takes the form "unix::/path/name" then a local (unix) domain socket will be created with that name and gdbserver will listen for connections on that. gdb/ * NEWS: Mention new feature. gdb/gdbserver/ * configure.ac (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Add sys/un.h. * configure: Regenerate. * remote-utils.c (remote_prepare): Create a local socket if requested. (remote_open): Don't attempt to open a file if it's a socket. (handle_accept_event): Display the name of the socket on connection. gdb/common/ * netstuff.c (parse_connection_spec)[prefixes]: New member for local domain sockets.
