gdb-wrapper: gdborig.exe still running after gdb.exe terminated about mingw-builds HOT 3 CLOSED

Perhaps _wexec could be used instead of CreateProcess so that the gdborig.exe processe replaces the gdb-wrapper gdb.exe process?

Yeah, I guess you're right.

_wexec* functions doesn't work in our case because when parent process destroy gdb got an exception and detach from console with error:
$ Exception condition detected on fd 0
error detected on stdin

It is gdb issue because examples from msdn is working. Possible solution is to use jobs (CreateJobObject, SetInformationJobObject). In this case child process die with parent process if you kill parent, but before die I got error in console as I write earlier.
