From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Andrew Cagney To: gdb@sources.redhat.com Subject: private_thread_info thread-db.c and lin-lwp.c Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2001 00:22:00 -0000 Message-id: <3B5E736C.9040702@cygnus.com> X-SW-Source: 2001-07/msg00357.html Hello, I was looking to make ``struct thread_info'' opaque again but, noticed this: thread-db.c contains: struct private_thread_info { /* Cached LWP id. Must come first, see lin-lwp.c. */ lwpid_t lwpid; }; .... tp = add_thread (ptid); tp->private = xmalloc (sizeof (struct private_thread_info)); tp->private->lwpid = ti_p->ti_lid; but no obvious reference to ->private. Meanwhile, lin-lwp.c contains: struct private_thread_info { int lwpid; }; .... if (tp->private->lwpid == GET_LWP (lp->ptid)) but no obvious initialization of ->private when adding threads. It turns out that the main thing keeping this working is that the lin-lwp.c code is in an unreachable function (find_lwp_callback()). Andrew
