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. gdb/ChangeLog: * target.h (struct target_ops) <to_detach>: Remove args parameter.
