Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [gdb] Handle nullptr stream in gdb_flush
Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2025 19:18:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250425171845.9934-3-tdevries@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250425171845.9934-1-tdevries@suse.de>

Using the trigger patch described in the previous commit, I get:
...
$ gdb
(gdb) <q>error detected on stdin

---------------------
A fatal error internal to GDB has been detected, further
debugging is not possible.  GDB will now terminate.

This is a bug, please report it.  For instructions, see:
<https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/>.

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$ q
...

Fix this in gdb_flush by checking for nullptr stream parameter, such that we
get instead:
...
$ gdb
(gdb) <q>error detected on stdin
$ q
...

Tested on x86_64-linux.
