Remove args from target detach
I was looking into adding a parameter to target_detach, and was
wondering what the args parameter was. It seems like in the distant
past, it was possible to specify a signal number when detaching. That
signal was injected in the process before it was detached. There is an
example of code handling this in linux_nat_detach. With today's GDB, I
can't get this to work. Doing "detach 15" (15 == SIGTERM) doesn't work,
because detach is a prefix command and doesn't recognize the sub-command
15. Doing "detach inferiors 15" doesn't work because it expects a list
of inferior id to detach. Therefore, I don't think there's a way of
invoking detach_command with a non-NULL args. I also didn't find any
documentation related to this feature.
I assume that this feature stopped working when detach was made a prefix
command, which is in
f73adfeb8bae36885e6ea248d12223ab0d5eb9cb (sorry,
there's no commit title) from 2006. Given that this feature was broken
for such a long time and we haven't heard anything (AFAIK, I did not
find any related bug), I think it's safe to remove it, as well as the
args parameter to target_detach. If someone wants to re-introduce it, I
would suggest rethinking the user interface, and in particular would
suggest using signal name instead of numbers.
I tried to fix all the impacted code, but I might have forgotten some
spots. It shouldn't be hard to fix if that's the case. I also couldn't
build-test everything I changed, especially the nto and solaris stuff.
