Subject: [PATCH 0/1] gdb: disable pagination during inferior creation
Date: Wed,  1 Jul 2026 07:03:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701070324.36461-1-stephan.rohr@intel.com> (raw)

From: "Rohr, Stephan" <stephan.rohr@intel.com>

Hello all,

I came accross a bug that triggered an assertion if adding a new
inferior causes pagintion and I hit 'quit' instead of 'Return' or
'continue'.  A minimal reproducer is

  (gdb) set width 10
  (gdb) set height 1
  (gdb) add-inferior -exec <some file>

Send quit when prompted for pagination.  A subsequent command that
switches inferiors, e.g., 'info inferiors', hits an assertion as the
inferior's pspace is not initialized.

Fix this by temporarily disabling pagination when setting up a new
inferior.

I appreciate your feedback.

Thanks
Stephan
