Consecutive step-overs trigger internal error.
If a thread trips on a breakpoint that needs stepping over just after finishing a step over, GDB currently fails an assertion. This is a regression caused by the "Handle multiple step-overs." patch (99619beac6252113fed212fdb9e1ab97bface423) at https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-02/msg00765.html.

(gdb) continue Continuing. ../../src/gdb/infrun.c:5200: internal-error: switch_back_to_stepped_thread: Assertion `!tp->control.trap_expected' failed. A problem internal to GDB has been detected, further debugging may prove unreliable. FAIL: gdb.base/consecutive-step-over.exp: continue to breakpoint: break here (GDB internal error) The assertion fails, because the code is not expecting that the event thread itself might need another step over. IOW, not expecting that TP in: tp = find_thread_needs_step_over (stepping_thread != NULL, stepping_thread); could be the event thread. A small fix for this would be to clear the event thread's trap_expected earlier, before asserting. But looking deeper, although currently_stepping_or_nexting_callback's intention is finding the thread that is doing a step/next, it also returns the thread that is doing a step-over dance, with trap_expected set. If there ever was a reason for that (it was I who added currently_stepping_or_nexting_callback , but I can't recall why I put trap_expected there in the first place), the only remaining reason nowadays is to aid in implementing switch_back_to_stepped_thread's assertion that is now triggering, by piggybacking on the walk over all threads, thus avoiding a separate walk. This is quite obscure, and I think we can do even better, by merging the walks that look for the stepping thread, and the walk that looks for some thread that might need a step over. Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native and gdbserver, and also native on top of my "software single-step on x86_64" series. gdb/ 2014-04-22 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * infrun.c (schedlock_applies): New function, factored out from find_thread_needs_step_over. (find_thread_needs_step_over): Use it. (switch_back_to_stepped_thread): Always clear trap_expected if the step over is finished. Return early if scheduler locking applies. Look for the stepping thread and a potential step-over thread with a single loop. (currently_stepping_or_nexting_callback): Delete. 2014-04-22 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/consecutive-step-over.c: New file. * gdb.base/consecutive-step-over.exp: New file.
