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
