Subject: gdbserver with reversed arguments goes into an infinite loop
Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2006 09:58:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <457FCEB6.4060008@st.com> (raw)
I've found that if you revert the argument of gdbserver, means writing
the program's name before the COMM argument, it goes into an infinite
loop, and as the CTRL+C does not work, you have to kill the process from
an other shell.
In gdbserver/server.c, the loop in question does the remote_open on the
wrong passed argument (argv[1]) which unfortunately is the binary file
you'd expect to open so remote_open does not exit on error.
I think either we could check that we pass correct argument before using
start_inferior(), this is executing before the loop. The bellow patch is
in that sense.
Or we find a way to exit the loop by adding a test in it. May be by
adding something in remote_open to let it fail.
I'd like your opinion about that
Thanks
