Yeah, now you're right:

  https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/Internals%20GDB-C-Coding-Standards#Empty_line_between_subprogram_description_and_the_subprogram_implementation

  "Note that this only applies to the case where the comment is placed
  besides the subprogram implementation (typically in a .c file). In the
  case of the documentation being placed next to the subprogram
  declaration, then the comment should be placed immediately before the
  declaration."

I'll fix these.  Thanks.

Yeah, I was also thinking about that, but currently there is no chance
of it being NULL.  The only place that calls this function for gdbserver
is fork_inferior, and if the function is called without a current_thread
then something really wrong happened.

Hm.  Re-reading the code now, I've realized there is a way to make
things work.

startup_inferior already sets the global "last_status" (from
gdbserver/server.c) when it's executing.  Therefore, it is possible to
access this variable (maybe through a getter on server.c), and there is
no need to pass it to set_executing.  Of course, that'd mean relying on
a global value to set current_thread->last_status, but that doesn't
really change what is already being done today.

With this modification, there is no need to extend set_executing and
make it receive a target_waitstatus.  However, for gdbserver, both the
PTID and the EXECUTING arguments will still be useless.

Thanks,
