[PATCH v2 1/3] gdb: parameterize all_threads_safe for the target and ptid

[PATCH v2 1/3] gdb: parameterize all_threads_safe for the target and ptid

[Tankut Baris Aktemur]

'all_threads' and 'all_threads_safe' are two range providers to
iterate over threads.  The former takes optional process target and
ptid arguments to filter the threads that are being iterated.  The
latter does not.  Enhance 'all_threads_safe' to also take the optional
arguments.  Use the new version of the function in two places.

[PATCH v2 2/3] gdb, multi-target: pass a target argument to prune_threads

[Tankut Baris Aktemur]

The 'prune_threads' function is used by various targets; in one case
in the 'create_inferior' method, in all other cases in
'update_thread_list'.  This is an indication that the function should
handle the threads that belong to the calling target and not mess with
the threads of other targets.  So, while iterating the threads, ignore
those that do not belong to the current target.  To do this,
prune_threads is modified to take a process_stratum_target as a
parameter.

[PATCH v2 3/3] gdb, multi-target: pass a target argument to delete_exited_threads

[Tankut Baris Aktemur]

Similar to the parent commit, delete_exited_threads is also mostly
used in the context of a particular target.  Pass that target as a
parameter and skip other targets.

There seems to be two cases where we actually would want to iterate
all targets.  One use is in inferior_appeared (inferior.c) and the
other is in thread_select (thread.c).  To handle these cases, allow
the argument to be nullptr.

Just noting that this is a behavior change, the previous code iterated
threads of all targets, while the new code only iterates the threads of
the current process target.  You could have passed nullptr to preserve
existing behavior.  But I think this is a good change, it's the same
spirit as your other patches.

You could now remove the braces for the `for`, to reduce indentation a
bit.

I'd rename all_threads_safe_iterator to
all_matching_threads_safe_iterator, to try to preserve the logic in how
these are named.

all_threads_safe_range would also be renamed to
all_matching_threads_safe_range.

With those fixed:

I think we should not be afraid to use references for things that must

Not related to your patch, but I'm a bit curious to know why this
delete_exited_threads is not done when we "mourn" the previous existence
of the inferior.  In the lifecycle of an inferior, there should always
be a point where an inferior stops "being", before "becoming" a new
execution.  At that point, the process target would be known and we
could pass it to delete_exited_threads.

I don't know if it's worthwhile, but we could restrict this one to the
process target of the previously selected thread.

There is another loop right after this one where we can apply
the same rule.  Shall I remove braces there, too, in another
obvious patch?  Otherwise, we will have inconsistency within
the function.

Sure, you can push an obvious patch to fix it.

Hmm, was it maybe desired to keep the threads around at mourn phase even
in exited state for some user-interface related reason?  I'm not sure.

I'm inclined towards preserving the current behavior for this one.
The previous thread and the selected thread can both be from the
same target and both could be exited, meaning they could potentially
be deleted by the call.  If a behavior change is desired, IMHO it
deserves a separate patch -- the behavioral changes in other places
in this series were clear optimizations but the change here would be
more than that, I think.
