Subject: [PATCH v2 02/11] Adjust gdb.base/exitsignal.exp for MinGW, second-chance SIGSEGV
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 20:18:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260525191829.984105-3-pedro@palves.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260525191829.984105-1-pedro@palves.net>
On native Windows a segmentation fault is delivered as a SEH
exception, so GDB stops twice: once for the first-chance exception,
and -- if no SEH handler in the inferior catches it -- again for the
second-chance exception, after which the process dies. The testcase
currently continues only once, resulting in:
...
continue
Continuing.
Thread 1 received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ff765ac1469 in main (argc=1, argv=0x9f2640) at C:/rocgdb/src.cascais-rsync/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/segv.c:24
24 *(volatile int *) 0;
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/exitsignal.exp: trigger SIGSEGV
continue
Continuing.
Thread 1 received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

24 *(volatile int *) 0;
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/exitsignal.exp: program terminated with SIGSEGV
...
Add a second continue on MinGW to step past the second-chance stop.
With this, gdb.base/exitsignal.exp passes cleanly on MinGW:
-FAIL: gdb.base/exitsignal.exp: program terminated with SIGSEGV
+PASS: gdb.base/exitsignal.exp: trigger SIGSEGV, second-chance
+PASS: gdb.base/exitsignal.exp: program terminated with SIGSEGV
