Re: [Simulavr-devel] [patch #7030] do not eat 100% CPU if GDB disconnects

[ThomasK]

Hi Petr,

if I understand it right, this patch is useless. You check list of 
simulation members if empty or not. But in any case (and if you start 
simulation not by python interface, for example) calling empty() will 
allways be false. Even, if you start it as gdb server!

The reason for eating cpu time is to find in gdb server design (in my 
opinion). If there is no connection and of course no communication the 
behaviour is like a free running simulation. And (if there are no other 
waiting points) it uses so much cpu time as it can get.

cu, Thomas
