Subject: Re: Semihosting in GDB 11.1 | Proposed patch for interrupting in sync mode
Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2022 07:25:36 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <VI1PR0402MB286377D8A18B417D40219F3FF10A9@VI1PR0402MB2863.eurprd04.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

Hi Tom,

Unfortunately, I could not find ways to adapt all the other components I have around GDB to 
work with target-async mode enabled. It is what it is...

Regarding the 'H' packet, I had a second look in the RSP specs where it's stated that '0' indicates
an arbitrary process/thread. So, as you mentioned, I changed the GDB server code to simply
ensure there's a valid thread stopped marked as 'current'. The original implementation incorrectly
assimilated '0' with 'first thread' (always).

Thank you,
Adrian

I think it would be better on the whole to figure out a way to make this work with target-async.  In the long run I'd prefer that gdb remove sync target wait entirely -- that the default be target-async everywhere.

I don't have the answer to that I'm afraid.

I think this request means to switch to any thread for subsequent non-continue/step requests.  So, ignoring it is almost the right thing to do, I think the idea is just to ensure that some stopped thread is selected.
