Subject: [PATCH v4 8/8] Forced quit cases handled by resetting sync_quit_force_run
Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2023 18:56:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230112015630.32999-9-kevinb@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230112015630.32999-1-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.

Another case is the try / catch in tui_getc() in tui-io.c.  The
existing catch swallows the exception.  I've added a catch for
'gdb_exception_forced_quit', which also swallows the exception,
but also sets sync_quit_force_run and calls set_quit_flag in
order to restart forced quit processing at the next QUIT check.
This is required because it isn't safe to throw into/through
readline.

Thanks to Pedro Alves for suggesting this idea.
