Subject: [RFA] Fix internal error with 'set debug infrun 1' under high load
Date: Sun, 24 Mar 2019 14:25:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190324142505.27486-1-philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> (raw)

The test  gdb.threads/watchthreads-reorder.exp verifies that the
'set debug infrun 1' debug output does not crash GDB.

Under high load, the test can still cause a GDB internal error (see details
below).

This patch checks that ptid differs from null_ptid to call
pid_to_str so that it does not crash.
The change also outputs event_ptid.
