RE: GDB step command crashed on non-stop mode

[XIAO Wei si A]

Hello,

I am using GDB non-stop mode to debug a multi-thread application. But it always crashed when I use "step" command. I have tried version 7.4/7.5.1/7.6, there result are same. The issue does not exist if we don't use non-stop mode.
I have written a small program to test, easy to reproduce each time. The code as below:

// test.cc 
#include <string>
using namespace std;
void fun(string &str1, string &str2)
{
    str1 += str2;
}

int main(void)
{
   string str1 = "abc";
   string str2 = "def";
   fun(str1,str2);
   
   return 0;
}


Compile:
g++ -g test.cc -o test


The procedure for reproduce as below:
vm10-0-0-1:/root-# gdb ./test

Does anyone know the root cause?

Thanks in advance,

I don't.  I was able to reproduce the problem, though.
Could you please file this in bugzilla?
