    Add new_inferior, inferior_deleted, and new_thread events · 7c96f8c1
    Tom Tromey authored
    This adds a few new events to gdb's Python layer: new_inferior,
    inferior_deleted, and new_thread.  I wanted to be able to add a
    combined inferior/thread display window to my GUI, and I needed a few
    events to make this work.  This is PR python/15622.
