[gdb] Fix handling of aborted inferior call
PR gdb/33069 reports the following behavior: ... $ gdb -q ls -ex starti -ex "b *1" Reading symbols from ls... (No debugging symbols found in ls) Starting program: /usr/bin/ls Program stopped. 0x00007ffff7fe4f00 in _start () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 Breakpoint 1 at 0x1 (gdb) p (int)strlen("abc") Warning: Cannot insert breakpoint 1. Cannot access memory at address 0x1 Command aborted. An error occurred while in a function called from GDB. Evaluation of the expression containing the function (malloc@plt) will be abandoned. When the function is done executing, GDB will silently stop. [1]+ Stopped gdb -q ls -ex starti -ex "b *1" $ fg gdb -q ls -ex starti -ex "b *1" (gdb) ... with gdb being unresponsive to further input. PR gdb/33068 reports a similar problem, but using gdbserver, and in that case gdb doesn't go into the background, but is likewise unresponsive. This is a regression since commit b1c0ab20809 ("gdb: avoid double stop after failed breakpoint condition check"), and consequently since release gdb 14.1. The commit changed this in run_inferior_call: ... if (current_ui->prompt_state == PROMPT_BLOCKED) - current_ui->unregister_file_handler (); - else - current_ui->register_file_handler (); + { + if (call_thread->thread_fsm ()->finished_p ()) + async_disable_stdin (); + else + async_enable_stdin (); + } ... which means current_ui->register_file_handler is no longer called in the current_ui->prompt_state == PROMPT_NEEDED case. Fix this by: - restoring this behavior, fixing the unresponsiveness, and - adding target_terminal::ours alongside it, fixing the problem that gdb goes into the background. Add a new test-case gdb.base/infcall-failure-2.exp, a regression test for the unresponsiveness issue. The problem of gdb going into the background did not reproduce in the test-case. Tested on x86_64-linux. Reviewed-By: Keith Seitz <keiths@redhat.com> Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33068 Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33069
