notifications

These are packets that go from the gdb server to gdb.

A notification packet has the form ‘% data # checksum’, where data is the content of the notification, and checksum is a checksum of data, computed and formatted as for ordinary GDB packets. A notification’s data never contains ‘$’, ‘%’ or ‘#’ characters. Upon receiving a notification, the recipient sends no ‘+’ or ‘-’ to acknowledge the notification’s receipt or to report its corruption.

Every notification’s data begins with a name, which contains no colon characters, followed by a colon character.

‘name:event’

Recipients should silently ignore corrupted notifications and notifications they do not understand. Recipients should restart timeout periods on receipt of a well-formed notification, whether or not they understand it.

The following notifications are defined:

Notification	Ack	Event	Description
Stop	vStopped	Target stopped executing. The reply has the form of a stop reply.	Report an asynchronous stop event in non-stop mode.
