Bug ID: 16442
Summary: sims not target-async
Product: gdb
Version: HEAD
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: sim
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: tromey at redhat dot com
Currently the sims don't implement target-async, but they could.
There are three ways to do it.
The first way keeps the current restriction that only a single
sim can be used at a time. The idea is simple -- run the simulator
code in a separate thread, doing whatever locking is needed on
the gdb side. On the sim side this may need a bit of auditing
to make sure that the code is "thread safe enough"; plus some
minor changes to prevent the sims from installing their own
signal handlers.
The second way would also be to use multiple threads, but do more
auditing on the simulator code to (1) let multiple instances of
a given simulator run at once, and (2) let multiple simulators be
built and linked in (or dlopen'd) at the same time.
The third idea is to add a minimal RSP stub to the various drivers
(run.c, nrun.c, plus there is at least one custom one in tree) and
change "target sim" to be a wrapper around "target remote". Some
tricks -- perhaps threads again -- are needed here to make C-c work
properly; also this may break the sim command completion functionality.

all enhancements should be routed through nrun from now on. the run interface
is being killed off, and ports that have custom entries (like erc32) simply
wouldn't get support for this new functionality imo.

See also bug #7505.
I lean toward the RSP approach nowadays; we could remove remote-sim
entirely. The only really tricky thing here, I think, is handling
the sim-specific gdbarch register remapping:
Method(
comment="""
MAP a GDB RAW register number onto a simulator register number. See
also include/...-sim.h.
""",
type="int",
name="register_sim_regno",
params=[("int", "reg_nr")],
predefault="legacy_register_sim_regno",
invalid=False,
)
This is used in a few arches, search for set_gdbarch_register_sim_regno.
Probably the best approach is to just change the sims to use XML
register sets like everything else.

seems we're getting a little off topic from the bug as defined ("sims not
target-async"). i've looked at the xml/regnum issue in the past to see if it
could be cleaned up. i filed bug 29869 to track that work & my thoughts.
