Subject: [PATCH] Fix PR remote/21852: Remote run without specifying a local binary crashes GDB
Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2017 14:05:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170822140448.19153-1-sergiodj@redhat.com> (raw)
The fix for PR gdb/20609:
commit bb805577d2b212411fb7b0a2d01644567fac4e8d
Author: Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
Date: Thu Sep 29 17:38:16 2016 +0200
Introduced the concept of deferring the call to breakpoint_re_set on
certain useful occasions. However, there is one specific scenario
where delaying needs to be done and still isn't: the case when we're
starting a GDB to debug a remote inferior without specifying a local
binary, as in for example:
./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory -ex "tar ext :1234" \
-ex "set remote exec-file /bin/ls" -ex r
In this case, when calling exec_file_locate_attach to locate the
inferior, GDB is incorrectly resetting the breakpoints without a
thread/inferior even running, which causes an assertion to be
triggered:
binutils-gdb/gdb/thread.c:1609: internal-error: scoped_restore_current_thread::scoped_restore_current_thread(): Assertion `tp != NULL' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
The right thing to do is to defer resetting the breakpoints when
locating the binary, which is what this patch does.
A testcase is also provided. Regtested on buildbot.
