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.
