In non-stop mode, if you resume the program in the background (with
"continue&", for example), then gdb makes sure to not switch the
current thread behind your back. That means that you can be sure that
the commands you type apply to the thread you selected, even if some
other thread that was running in the background hits some event just
while you're typing.
In all-stop mode, however, if you resume the program in the
background, gdb let's the current thread switch behind your back.
This is bogus, of course. All-stop and non-stop background
resumptions should behave the same.
This patch fixes that, and adds a testcase that exposes the bad
behavior in current master.
The fork-running-state.exp changes are necessary because that
preexisting testcase was expecting the old behavior:
Before:
continue &
Continuing.
(gdb)
[Attaching after process 8199 fork to child process 8203]
[New inferior 2 (process 8203)]
info threads
Id Target Id Frame
1.1 process 8199 "fork-running-st" (running)
* 2.1 process 8203 "fork-running-st" (running)
(gdb)
After:
continue &
Continuing.
(gdb)
[Attaching after process 24660 fork to child process 24664]
[New inferior 2 (process 24664)]
info threads
Id Target Id Frame
* 1.1 process 24660 "fork-running-st" (running)
2.1 process 24664 "fork-running-st" (running)
(gdb)
Here we see that before this patch GDB switches current inferior to
the new inferior behind the user's back, as a side effect of handling
the fork.
The delete_exited_threads call in inferior_appeared is there to fix an
issue that Baris found in a previous version of this patch. The
fetch_inferior_event change increases the refcount of the current
thread, and in case the fetched inferior event denotes a thread exit,
the thread will not be deleted right away. A non-deleted but exited
thread stays in the inferior's thread list. This, in turn, causes the
"init_thread_list" call in inferior.c to be skipped. A consequence is
that the global thread ID counter is not restarted if the current
thread exits, and then the inferior is restarted:
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x4004d6: file main.c, line 21.
Starting program: /tmp/main
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at main.c:21
21 foo ();
(gdb) info threads -gid
Id GId Target Id Frame
* 1 1 process 16106 "main" main () at main.c:21
(gdb) c
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 16106) exited normally]
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 2 at 0x4004d6: file main.c, line 21.
Starting program: /tmp/main
Temporary breakpoint 2, main () at main.c:21
21 foo ();
(gdb) info threads -gid
Id GId Target Id Frame
* 1 2 process 16138 "main" main () at main.c:21
^^^
Notice that GId == 2 above. It should have been "1" instead.
The new tids-git-reset.exp testcase exercises the problem above.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
