And here's a new patch that fixes that. Here are the same
notes I posted yesterday:
- nowhere in the file was inferior_ptid set, but there
were places where it was being set to null_ptid (you can
see one such place in the patch).
- mips_load was clearing inferior_ptid, and calling clear_symtab_users. I
notice that inferior_ptid is being cleared after a load command, but that
is wrong, I believe. See this change of Jim's to monitor.c, that removed
this clearing from the monitor target:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2001-09/msg00125.html
I'm applying the exact same reasoning and change here.
If this patch goes in without the previous patch, issuing "run" and the
user answering yes to "The program being debugged has been
started already. Start it from the beginning?" ends up calling target_kill
which sends the remote a break. With the previous patch installed,
The user can use ctrl-c at the terminal to interrupt the remote, and
target_kill will do nothing, just like monitor.c does (which seems to
share some history with remote-mips.c).
- There's a FIXME in mips_create_inferior, wondering if it should set
inferior_ptid there. I believe the answer is negative. When you get to
mips_create_inferior, the target is already with execution -- you have it
since target_open. The "run" command against this target merelly sets
the PC to the entry points, and proceeds. The user could have also
just "target mips ..." followed by "continue". See Jim's email above, his
very nice explanation makes it clearer.
I've checked that this at least compiles. Keep in mind that there is no
current configuration using this file (which I had noticed before).
I would definitelly not opposse GCing this file instead.

This patch makes the remote-mips target register a SIGINT handler
instead, like monitor.c does.
Of course, only after doing this, I noticed that that there's
no configuration currently that builds this file...
I've checked that this at least builds after tweaking configure.tgt
to include it in a --target=mips-elf build. CS has a similar tweak
in its internal trees, but AFAIK we don't have customers
using this target either.
To make this build, I also needed to change regcache_set_valid_p to
regcache_invalidate. regcache_set_valid_p isn't defined anywhere.
It seems it would supposed to go in with this:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-12/msg00150.html
But only the remote-mips.c bits went in.
Anyway, as long as I've written it the patch here it is.
