Subject: Always run GDB command post-hook after pre-hook has been run
Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2015 18:17:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+gYvweEDqcaBAa_v189usDPtcFxCZ13UjMC5DFZBev3aNy6dg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
We've observed that a command post-hook isn't run if an exception is
thrown (inside GDB) when running the command. Here's a trace of this:
(gdb) define hook-print
>echo hook-print\n
>end
(gdb) define hookpost-print
>echo hookpost-print\n
>end
(gdb) print test
hook-print
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
(gdb) print "test"
hook-print
$1 = "test"
hookpost-print
This issue can be fixed by adding a cleanup action for the post-hook
call via the patch below. With this change we get the following trace:
(gdb) define hook-print
>echo hook-print\n
>end
(gdb) define hookpost-print
>echo hookpost-print\n
>end
(gdb) print test
hook-print
hookpost-print
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
(gdb) print "test"
hook-print
$1 = "test"
hookpost-print
As you can see the post-hook is now always being called, even if the
command fails.

I've run the test suite before and after this change and I can't see
any relevant failures. Presumably the patch will also need to include
a test, but I'm hoping to just get comments on the implementation
change first.
Thanks,
Stephen
