Hi Tom, Ulrich and community,

I made a mistake by not removing a commented line in the last patch. I apologise for the same. Kindly ignore the same.

Thank you for the feedback for the fix of this bug. Please find attached the patch. {See: 0001-Fix-multi-thread-debug-bug-in-AIX.patch}.

So, I have fixed the bug and it works alright. Please find the test program, output with patch and without patch pasted below this email.

So, I have taken care of this. Now we use the registry. Thank you for this suggestion. I was not knowing this. This is a very nice feature.

This I have removed. I made a mistake while analysing this solution. Thank you for pointing it out. It works without it. Kindly check the output below.

This I am not aware of at least when I tried finding. What we need is a test case to check if the shared library is loaded for every new inferior born and the top target is set correctly in case of thread debugging.
If something exists, I would like to know.

So we already attach this data using the lines here in the same function.

std::string fname = string_printf ("%s%s",

                                     bfd_get_filename (archive_bfd.get ()),

                                     sep);

  bfd_set_filename (object_bfd.get (), fname.c_str ());


All we need to the right match for the name of the shared library. So, we already have a pathname variable. I used it and removed the vector. Kindly see it in the patch. You were right. There is nothing that could have clean that vector.

Kindly give me feedback if we can do anything better or is incorrect. If not, kindly push this patch so that AIX folks can have a better debugging experience.

Have a nice day ahead.

Thanks and regards,
Aditya.

This I have taken care in the patch.

There are a few changes for which I want to explain below.

We now have all variables {pd_able, pd_active and pd_session} now in a map of process ID and structure. This will help us make AIX GDB code easy to manage them per process in the aix-thread.c file.

Secondly, in the function pid_to_str () there is a beneath () call, which is why I had to put this function in rs6000-aix-nat.c file.

Third thing is previously if there was no object file, we would use pd_disable () to disable thread debugging. This is incorrect now that we support multiple inferiors. Since we rely on inferior_ptid with new object file function till a point, we must disable only when we mourn the inferior or a process dies. Otherwise, there is every chance we will disable thread debugging for a wrong inferior that can be currently inferior_ptid. It also creates a mess disabling the pd_active for the wrong inferior in cases where a new inferior is born who object file is being loaded. This change can be seen in the patch.

I have written comments for the remaining changes in the patch.

Kindly give me feedback if we can do anything better or is incorrect. If not, kindly push this patch so that AIX folks can have a better debugging experience.

Have a nice day ahead.

Thanks and regards,
Aditya.

Instead of iterate_over_threads you could use the all_threads() iterator directly;
this can be specialized to only return threads of one inferior like this:

       for (thread_info *tp : all_threads (proc_target, ptid_t (pid)))
       {
            ...
       }

I think this change in solib-aix.c is not quite correct:
+      std::string s = bfd_get_filename (object_bfd.get ());
+      if (s.find (member_name) != std::string::npos)
+      {
+       return object_bfd;
+      }

This matches the member name *anywhere* in the full filename,
which could lead to spurious matches, I think.  The test
should be more specific.

Bye,
Ulrich
