Subject: [PATCH] Change py-thread-exited.exp to work with gdbserver
Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2023 11:32:54 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230731173254.2725820-1-tromey@adacore.com> (raw)

gdbserver does not notify gdb of new threads when they are created.
I'm not sure if this is documented anywhere, but it is mentioned on
this page:

https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/LocalRemoteFeatureParity

Search for "Finding new threads in the inferior".

This behavior is a bit unfortunate -- I would think that it would be
better to arrange for such notification if something on the gdb side
is interested.

Meanwhile, this patch fixes py-thread-exited.exp to work around this
problem.
