In synchronous execution, the "Launch" command won't return till the process has stopped. The point of synchronous execution is that you can do:
break set -n foo run bt So "run" can't return till the breakpoint has been hit. That is why it waits for the process to stop. I'm not quite sure why this is done in Target::Launch, in other cases (e.g. in for "step" and "continue" the command object is the one that takes care of waiting for the stop. Launch is a little funny however, because it can't use the normal process wait mechanism to do its job since the real process isn't alive when it has to start waiting... I think the reason you are hanging here is that the code that reads in all the init statements runs an event loop temporarily while it is reading them in, and the kills that and hands off the the real command execution loop, and this continuation gets lost in the handoff. I thought Greg had already fixed that, but maybe it's still sitting in his queue.
