Public bug reported: Hello,
REPRODUCE $ qemu-system-x86_64 -s -S -nographic <wait> QEMU: Terminated via GDBStub $ gdb (gdb) target remote :1234 (gdb) load /bin/ls (gdb) target exec A program is being debugged already. Kill it? (y or no) y No executable file now. EXPECTED Enable program to be executed without terminating QEMU. DISCUSSION This was already discussed in [1], reverted in [2], however, no solution is provided. It worked perfectly in the past, I guess because of [1] and before [3]. Opening bug for this as discussion in mailing list did not attract anyone and functionality is required. If there is other gdb sequence to achieve same result it would be great to get it documented.
