Subject: [PATCH v2] [gdb] Handle EINTR in fgets
Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2025 10:32:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250818083208.18860-1-tdevries@suse.de> (raw)
Usually, find_charset_names calls iconv -l to get the list of supported
charsets, allowing us to use a charset not in the default list:
...
$ /usr/bin/gdb -q -batch -ex "set charset CP858"
$
...
If the call to iconv -l fails somehow, gdb silently falls back to using the
default list, which gets us instead:
...
$ PATH= /usr/bin/gdb -q -batch -ex "set charset CP858"
Undefined item: "CP858".
$
...
PR gdb/33274 reports that gdb occasionally fails in the same way, because
fgets returns nullptr before the output of iconv -l is read entirely.
We asked the reporter to try out a patch handling errno == EINTR after
fgets returns nullptr, and that fixed the problem.
Fix this by:
- adding an inline function gdb::fgets that handles EINTR, and
- using it instead of fgets.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33274
