Subject: [bt-spec] BTP Issue 99 : PREPARE_INFERIORS and FAULT(InvalidInferior)
This issue has been added to the BTP issue list
(i) I could check all inferiors prior to issuing prepare on any of them and only go ahead if all ids in the list are valid.
(ii) I could simply walk down the list and issue prepare and stop when I get to an invalid id. However, what happens to the inferiors I haven't talked to yet and what do I do with those I have.
(iii) I walk down the list and issue prepare and remember if I see any invalid id. At the end of the list I return the appropriate FAULT.
(iv) modify the status-item field such that it is possible to identify which id was invalid.
Now I have a preference as to which I think we should do, but the real
reason for this message is to try to get some agreement on a standard
approach that we can put in the specification. (BTW, I think (iv) would be a
useful enhancement anyway - if I send a list of 1000 inferior ids and only
one of them was invalid it would be good if I could get that id (or list
thereof) back on the fault message.)
