            Bug ID: 31751
           Summary: re-enable background DWARF reading
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: tromey at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

Background DWARF reading (see bug #29942) caused a number
of races.  (I'll change the known ones to block this bug.)

I think we should disable background reading for gdb 15,
then fix the bugs and try to re-enable it for a later release.

    Default dwarf_synchronous to true

    Unfortunately the background DWARF reading series introduced a number
    of races, as repored by thread sanitizer.  This patch changes gdb to
    disable this feature for the time being -- in particular for the gdb
    15 release.

    I've filed a bug and linked all the known races to it.  Once those are
    fixed we can re-enable this feature by default.

That patch disabled the feature, but we should leave
this bug open for re-enabling the feature and eventually
backing out that patch.
