Use RAII to set the per-thread SIGSEGV handler
This avoids using a thread-local extern variable, which causes link errors on some platforms, notably Cygwin. But I think this is a better pattern even outside of working around linker bugs because it encapsulates direct access to the variable inside the class, instead of having a global extern variable. The cygwin link error is: cp-support.o: in function `gdb_demangle(char const*, int)': /home/Christian/binutils-gdb/obj/gdb/../../gdb/cp-support.c:1619:(.text+0x6472): relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol `TLS init function for thread_local_segv_handler' /home/Christian/binutils-gdb/obj/gdb/../../gdb/cp-support.c:1619:(.text+0x648b): relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol `TLS init function for thread_local_segv_handler' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status 2021-03-12 Christian Biesinger <cbiesinger@google.com> PR threads/27239 * cp-support.c: Use scoped_segv_handler_restore. * event-top.c (thread_local_segv_handler): Made static.
