So I've built qemu with -enable-debug and tried running with an attached GDB, but got nothing. I've never tried to debug Qemu before, but I know it's not quite a simple as debugging other apps. I am honestly clueless about how to further debug this problem.
Should I give up on using virtio-serial for spice vdagent integration? It seems that nobody really has any interest in this problem. Are other people using qemu with spice (including functional guest agent support, copy/paste, etc)? How? I know hkran posted how (s)he uses qemu without hitting this bug, but when I use qemu in that way, I loose guest agent. I like to fix things myself, and I hate to be asking about this when everybody clearly has more interesting things to do. I just need some input so that I can have realistic expectations.
