Subject: [pushed 21/28] Windows gdb+gdbserver: Make siginfo_er per-thread state
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 21:45:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424204508.1343973-22-pedro@palves.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424204508.1343973-1-pedro@palves.net>
With non-stop mode support, each thread has its own "last event", and
so printing $_siginfo should print the siginfo of the selected thread.
Likewise, with all-stop and scheduler-locking.
This patch reworks the siginfo functions in gdb/windows-nat.c and
gdbserver/win32-low.cc to reuse the exception record already saved
within each thread's 'last_event' field.
Here's an example of what you'll see after the whole non-stop series:
(gdb) thread apply all p -pretty -- $_siginfo
Thread 3 (Thread 2612.0x1470):
$1 = {
ExceptionCode = DBG_CONTROL_C,
ExceptionFlags = 0,
ExceptionRecord = 0x0,
ExceptionAddress = 0x7ffd0583e929 <KERNELBASE!EncodeRemotePointer+8249>,
NumberParameters = 0,
{
ExceptionInformation = {0 <repeats 15 times>},
AccessViolationInformation = {
Type = READ_ACCESS_VIOLATION,
Address = 0x0
}
}
}
Thread 2 (Thread 2612.0x1704):
$2 = {
ExceptionCode = SINGLE_STEP,
ExceptionFlags = 0,
ExceptionRecord = 0x0,
ExceptionAddress = 0x7ffd080ad6e4 <ntdll!ZwDelayExecution+20>,
NumberParameters = 0,
{
ExceptionInformation = {0 <repeats 15 times>},
AccessViolationInformation = {
Type = READ_ACCESS_VIOLATION,
Address = 0x0
}
}
}
Thread 1 (Thread 2612.0x434):
$3 = {
ExceptionCode = BREAKPOINT,
ExceptionFlags = 0,
ExceptionRecord = 0x0,
ExceptionAddress = 0x7ff6f691174c <main+185>,
NumberParameters = 1,
{
ExceptionInformation = {0 <repeats 15 times>},
AccessViolationInformation = {
Type = READ_ACCESS_VIOLATION,
Address = 0x0
}
}
}
(gdb)
This was in non-stop mode, and the program originally had two threads.
Thread 1 stopped for a breakpoint, then thread 2 was manually
interrupted/paused and then single-stepped. And then I typed Ctrl-C
in the inferior's terminal, which made Windows inject thread 3 in the
inferior, and report a DBG_CONTROL_C exception for it.
