Subject: [pushed 25/28] Windows gdb: Change serial_event management
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 21:45:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424204508.1343973-26-pedro@palves.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424204508.1343973-1-pedro@palves.net>

windows_nat_target::windows_continue, when it finds a resumed thread
that has a pending event, does:

	  /* There's no need to really continue, because there's already
	     another event pending.  However, we do need to inform the
	     event loop of this.  */
	  serial_event_set (m_wait_event);
	  return TRUE;

If we have more than one pending event ready to be consumed, and,
windows_nat_target::wait returns without calling
windows_nat_target::windows_continue, which it will with the non-stop
support in a later patch, then we will miss waking up the event loop.

This patch makes windows-nat.c manage the serial_event similarly to
how linux-nat.c does it.  Clear it on entry to
windows_nat_target::wait, and set it if there may be more events to
process.  With this, there's no need to set it from
windows_nat_target::wait_for_debug_event_main_thread, so the patch
also makes us not do it.
