Subject: [PATCH v3 7/7] Handle QUIT processing in the scoped_switch_fork_info destructor
Date: Sat, 26 Feb 2022 17:00:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220227000051.3336149-8-kevinb@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220227000051.3336149-1-kevinb@redhat.com>

During my audit of the use of gdb_exception with regard to QUIT
processing, I found a try/catch in the scoped_switch_fork_info
destructor.

Static analysis found this call path from the destructor to
maybe_quit():

  scoped_switch_fork_info::~scoped_switch_fork_info()
    -> remove_breakpoints()
    -> remove_breakpoint(bp_location*)
    -> remove_breakpoint_1(bp_location*, remove_bp_reason)
    -> memory_validate_breakpoint(gdbarch*, bp_target_info*)
    -> target_read_memory(unsigned long, unsigned char*, long)
    -> target_read(target_ops*, target_object, char const*, unsigned char*, unsigned long, long)
    -> maybe_quit()

Since it's not safe to do a 'throw' from a destructor, we simply
call set_quit_flag and, for gdb_exception_forced_quit, also
set sync_quit_force_run.  This will cause the appropriate
exception to be rethrown at the next QUIT check.

Thanks to Pedro Alves for suggesting this idea.
