  To: gdb-patches

About a month and a half ago, I posted a patch which prevented
enable_break() in solib-svr4.c from placing breakpoints on _start,
__start, or main.  See:

http://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-09/msg00309.html

Mark Kettenis objected to that patch on the grounds that placing
breakpoints on _start, __start, or main can still be useful.  He
agreed, however, that it would be acceptable to skip attempts to
place these breakpoints when attaching to a process.  

The patch below preserves the current behavior when a program is
started via GDB's "run" command, but disables attempts to place
breakpoints on _start, __start, and main for all other cases (attach,
follow-fork, core file case, etc.)

Comments?

	* infcmd.c (post_create_inferior):  Add new parameter,
	`from_run_command'.  Pass this argument to
	`solib_create_inferior_hook'.
	(run_command_1): Pass 1 as value for the `from_run_command'
	argument in call to post_create_inferior().
	(attach_command_post_wait): Pass 0 as value for the
	`from_run_command' argument in call to post_create_inferior().
	* inferior.h (post_create_inferior): Update declaration to
	have an additional argument.
	* corelow.c (core_open): Pass 0 as the value of the
	`from_run_command' argument in call to post_create_inferior().
	* infrun.c (start_remote): Likewise.
	* tracepoint.c (tfile_open): Likewise.
	* solib.c, solib.h (solib_create_inferior_hook): Add new
	parameter, `from_run_command'.
	* solist.c (struct target_so_ops): Add new parameter,
	`from_run_command', to the `solib_create_inferior_hook' operation.
	* solib.c (reload_shared_libraries): Pass 0 as value of the
	`from_run_command' argument in call to solib_create_inferior_hook().
	* infrun.c (follow_exec): Likewise.
	* linux-nat.c (linux_child_follow_fork): Likewise.
	* nto-procfs.c (procfs_post_attach, procfs_create_inferior):
	Likewise.
	* solib-darwin.c (darwin_solib_create_inferior_hook): Add
	new parameter, `from_run_command'.
	* solib-frv.c (frv_solib_create_inferior_hook): Likewise.
	* solib-irix.c (irix_solib_create_inferior_hook): Likewise.
	* solib-osf.c (osf_solib_create_inferior_hook): Likewise.
	* solib-pa64.c (pa64_solib_create_inferior_hook): Likewise.
	* solib-som.c (som_solib_create_inferior_hook): Likewise.
	* solib-spu.c (spu_solib_create_inferior_hook): Likewise.
	* solib-sunos.c (sunos_solib_create_inferior_hook): Likewise.
	* solib-target.c (solib_target_solib_create_inferior_hook):
	Likewise.
	* solib-svr4.c (svr4_solib_create_inferior_hook): Likewise.
	Pass `from_run_command' to enable_break().
	(enable_break): Add new parameter, `from_run_command'.  Don't
	attempt to place a breakpoint on the bkpt_names[] symbols
	unless `from_run_command' is non-zero.
