25.4.3 gdb/mi Async Records

Async records are used to notify the gdb/mi client of additional changes that have occurred. Those changes can either be a consequence of gdb/mi commands (e.g., a breakpoint modified) or a result of target activity (e.g., target stopped).

The following is the list of possible async records:

*running,thread-id="thread"
The target is now running. The thread field tells which specific thread is now running, and can be ‘all’ if all threads are running. The frontend should assume that no interaction with a running thread is possible after this notification is produced. The frontend should not assume that this notification is output only once for any command. gdb may emit this notification several times, either for different threads, because it cannot resume all threads together, or even for a single thread, if the thread must be stepped though some code before letting it run freely.
*stopped,reason="reason"
The target has stopped. The reason field can have one of the following values:
breakpoint-hit
A breakpoint was reached.
watchpoint-trigger
A watchpoint was triggered.
read-watchpoint-trigger
A read watchpoint was triggered.
access-watchpoint-trigger
An access watchpoint was triggered.
function-finished
An -exec-finish or similar CLI command was accomplished.
location-reached
An -exec-until or similar CLI command was accomplished.
watchpoint-scope
A watchpoint has gone out of scope.
end-stepping-range
An -exec-next, -exec-next-instruction, -exec-step, -exec-step-instruction or similar CLI command was accomplished.
exited-signalled
The inferior exited because of a signal.
exited
The inferior exited.
exited-normally
The inferior exited normally.
signal-received
A signal was received by the inferior.

=thread-created,id="id"
=thread-exited,id="id"
A thread either was created, or has exited. The id field contains the gdb identifier of the thread.
