#4642 closed enhancement (fixed)

disable_debugger() flag isn't passed on to forked children

Description

I'm not sure if this was a design decision or if it is just a bug/missing feature. I would like to be able to call disable_debugger() before a fork()/execvp() and have the debugger disabled for the child process also.

I attached some sample code which illustrates what I'm looking for. I should note that this isn't for me. My code never crashes :)

This is actually for the CMake developers. CMake includes a test runner called 'ctest'. They want to be able to call disable_debugger() inside of ctest and have that passed on to the program being tested. They are already doing something like this for windows(apparently windows passes on this attribute to the children).
