- Subject: [PATCH] remote: Fix a crash on longjmp breakpoint removal
Hi,
I have observed a crash, where GDB attempts to send a packet to gdbserver
after the remote target has already exited (and the gdbserver process
terminated) -- here's the tail of an example remote session transcript:
Sending packet: $vCont;c#a8...Packet received: W00
[Inferior 1 (Remote target) exited normally]
Sending packet: $Hg0#df...
This happens on the MIPS/Linux target while GDB is single-stepping with
the "step" command.
I have tracked it down to remote_close calling discard_all_inferiors,
which in turn eventually calls delete_thread_of_inferior, which calls
clear_thread_inferior_resources, which calls delete_longjmp_breakpoint,
which calls remote_remove_breakpoint, which needs to send some packets to
the remote target to get the breakpoint removed. But at this point the
remote file descriptor has already been closed; after a W00 stop reply
gdbserver does not expect any further input anyway.
I have looked through ChangeLogs and I believe this is a regression
caused by:
2010-12-09 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
PR c++/9593:
* thread.c (clear_thread_inferior_resources): Call
delete_longjmp_breakpoint.
[...]
I have been able to get rid of the crash with the change below, no test
suite regressions on mips-linux-gnu (remote target). OK to apply?

* thread.c (clear_thread_inferior_resources): Don't call
delete_longjmp_breakpoint if there's no inferior.
