            Bug ID: 31465
           Summary: gdb batch mode crashes when execute
                    "gdb.post_event(lambda: gdb.execute("c"))" in a stop
                    event handler
           Product: gdb
           Version: 15.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: ydeng339 at gatech dot edu
  Target Milestone: ---

I want to debug my program (with multiple breakpoints) automatically. When
reaching a breakpoint, I want to do some operations and continue the execution. 

Here is the code snippet of my python script:
```
def set_breakpoints():
    # Just add multiple breakpoints
    ...

def on_stop(event):
    # Do some operations
    gdb.post_event(lambda: gdb.execute("c"))

gdb.events.stop.connect(on_stop)

gdb.execute("run")
```

And here is my command: "gdb -x [MY_PYTHON_SCRIPT] --batch --args
[MY_PROGRAM]".

And then, gdb crashes with the following logs:
```
Fatal signal: Segmentation fault

---------------------
```

Such crash only appears in batch mode. If I run the program in interactive
mode, the program will not crash (but interactive mode is inefficient). Based
on my test, this bug appears in version 12.1 and version 15.0.
