[PATCH] Unset attach_flag when running a new process

[PATCH] Unset attach_flag when running a new process

[Patrick Palka]

We currently set attach_flag when attaching to a process, so we should
make sure to unset it when forking a new process.  Otherwise attach_flag
would remain set after forking, if the previous process associated with
the inferior was attached to.

[ The test is currently magically failing on extended-gdbserver.  The
  failure is:

(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/run-after-attach.exp: kill process
start
`target:/scratchpad/binutils-gdb-build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/run-after-attach' has disappeared; keeping its symbols.
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x4005aa: file /home/patrick/code/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/run-after-attach.c, line 23.
Starting program: target:/scratchpad/binutils-gdb-build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/run-after-attach
Running the default executable on the remote target failed; try "set remote exec-file"?

  I do not know why restarting the program fails.  Is this a bug or a mistake on my part?

  Also, why is [is_remote target] true for gdbserver but not for extended-gdbserver?  ]

	* gdb/infcmd.c (run_comand_1): Unset attach_flag.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

[PATCH] Unset attach_flag when running a new process

[Patrick Palka]

We currently set attach_flag when attaching to a process, so we should
make sure to unset it when forking a new process.  Otherwise attach_flag
would remain set after forking, if the previous process associated with
the inferior was attached to.

[ I fixed the extended-gdbserver test failure by using
  prepare_for_testing instead of using build_executable + gdb_start.  The
  former sets remote exec-file which is what makes the "run" command work as
  expected under extended-gdbserver.  ]

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* gdb/infcmd.c (run_comand_1): Unset attach_flag.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.base/run-after-attach.exp: New test file.

It is better to do such reset in target.c:target_pre_inferior, which
is created for such purpose, as far as I know.

I don't read the test part of this patch.

That makes sense, although I am a bit hesitant about such a change,
since target_pre_inferior has a lot of callers.  Is it OK, for
instance, to assume that current_inferior points to the right inferior
when target_pre_inferior gets called?  Currently current_inferior is
not called directly or indirectly from target_pre_inferior.

I wonder how this attach_flag issues manifests itself elsewhere, if at all.

You mean, the whole lot of 3 callers.  :-)

infcmd.c:542:  target_pre_inferior (from_tty);
infcmd.c:2603:  target_pre_inferior (from_tty);
target.c:2191:  target_pre_inferior (from_tty);

Should be.  It's called from the run command, and from the
attach command.  Those assume that the current inferior is
the inferior that we're about to run/attach.

The call in target_preopen is more dubious.  That should probably
be iterating over all inferiors and calling target_pre_inferior
on each.  For the case where you have multiple inferiors, and then
connect to a remote target with "target remote".

Avoid raw gdb_expect.  You can write:

        gdb_test "kill" \
            "" \
            "kill process" \
            "Kill the program being debugged.*y or n. $" \
            "y"

Please use gdb_test_multiple.  That catches internal errors and such.

The thing is that one of the callers, target_preopen, itself has lots
of callers all over the place.

Yeah, those are obviously fine.

I see.  I will move the call to target_pre_inferior then.

Hmm, I wonder why I didn't use gdb_test_multiple in the first place.
Probably for no good reason.  I'll make this change then.

[PATCH] Unset attach_flag when running a new process

[Patrick Palka]

We currently set attach_flag when attaching to a process, so we should
make sure to unset it when forking a new process.  Otherwise attach_flag
would remain set after forking, if the previous process associated with
the inferior was attached to.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* target.c (target_pre_inferior): Unset attach_flag.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.base/run-after-attach.exp: New test file.
	* gdb.base/run-after-attach.c: New test file.

I don't think you need this default?  gdb_test_multiple
handles timeout and eof itself.

OK.

Ah, yeah, that is an artifact from the previous version which used
gdb_expect.  Committed with that change.

Hi.

A couple of comments for discussion's sake.

There's a lot of state in struct inferior.
Is there anything else that needs to be reset?
And how can we set things up so that future readers
don't walk away with the same question?

A function to reset struct inferior in preparation for a
"new" inferior is something I'd expect to find in the API that
inferior.[ch] should be providing to gdb.
Thoughts?
