[RFA] fix crash when rerunning programs in non-stop mode

Hi.
I noticed a patch that recently went in to fix
do_restore_current_thread_cleanup's handling of restoring
the current thread if the program exited.
Good timing because I've been playing with gdb crashes in this area.
The patch does this:
if (tp
&& is_exited (tp->ptid)
&& find_inferior_pid (ptid_get_pid (tp->ptid)) == NULL)
restore_current_thread (null_ptid);
else
restore_current_thread (old->inferior_ptid);
One problem is that calling is_exited is problematic if
! target_has_execution (this one I'm tripping over).
Another problem is if tp == NULL, then old->inferior_ptid
is restored (this is just an observation).
This patch reverses the sense of what's being tested,
i.e. check for whether old->inferior_ptid restorable
instead of whether it's dead.
Ok to check in?
Included is a testcase to exercise the problem.
2009-03-26 Doug Evans <dje@google.com>
* thread.c (do_restore_current_thread_cleanup): Redo test for
whether to restore old->inferior_ptid.
* gdb.mi/mi-nonstop-exit.exp: New file.
* gdb.mi/non-stop-exit.c: New file.
