PR gdb/13860: don't lose '-interpreter-exec console EXECUTION_COMMAND''s output in async mode.
The other part of PR gdb/13860 is about console execution commands in MI getting their output half lost. E.g., take the finish command, executed on a frontend's GDB console: sync: finish &"finish\n" ~"Run till exit from #0 usleep (useconds=10) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/usleep.c:27\n" ^running *running,thread-id="1" (gdb) ~"0x00000000004004d7 in foo () at stepinf.c:6\n" ~"6\t usleep (10);\n" ~"Value returned is $1 = 0\n" *stopped,reason="function-finished",frame={addr="0x00000000004004d7",func="foo",args=[],file="stepinf.c",fullname="/home/pedro/gdb/tests/stepinf.c",line="6"},thread-id="1",stopped-threads="all",core="1" async: finish &"finish\n" ~"Run till exit from #0 usleep (useconds=10) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/usleep.c:27\n" ^running *running,thread-id="1" (gdb) *stopped,reason="function-finished",frame={addr="0x00000000004004d7",func="foo",args=[],file="stepinf.c",fullname="/home/pedro/gdb/tests/stepinf.c",line="6"},gdb-result-var="$1",return-value="0",thread-id="1",stopped-threads="all",core="0" Note how all the "Value returned" etc. output is missing in async mode. The same happens with e.g., catchpoints: =breakpoint-modified,bkpt={number="1",type="catchpoint",disp="keep",enabled="y",what="22016",times="1"} ~"\nCatchpoint " ~"1 (forked process 22016), 0x0000003791cbd8a6 in __libc_fork () at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/fork.c:131\n" ~"131\t pid = ARCH_FORK ();\n" *stopped,reason="fork",disp="keep",bkptno="1",newpid="22016",frame={addr="0x0000003791cbd8a6",func="__libc_fork",args=[],file="../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/fork.c",fullname="/usr/src/debug/glibc-2.14-394-g8f3b1ff/nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/fork.c",line="131"},thread-id="1",stopped-threads="all",core="0" where all those ~ lines are missing in async mode, or just the "step" current line indication: s &"s\n" ^running *running,thread-id="all" (gdb) ~"13\t foo ();\n" *stopped,frame={addr="0x00000000004004ef",func="main",args=[{name="argc",value="1"},{name="argv",value="0x7fffffffdd78"}],file="stepinf.c",fullname="/home/pedro/gdb/tests/stepinf.c",line="13"},thread-id="1",stopped-threads="all",core="3" (gdb) Or in the case of the PRs example, the "Stopped due to shared library event" note: start &"start\n" ~"Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x400608: file ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/solib-main.c, line 21.\n" =breakpoint-created,bkpt={number="1",type="breakpoint",disp="del",enabled="y",addr="0x0000000000400608",func="main",file="../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/solib-main.c",fullname="/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/solib-main.c",line="21",times="0",original-location="main"} ~"Starting program: /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/solib-main \n" =thread-group-started,id="i1",pid="21990" =thread-created,id="1",group-id="i1" ^running *running,thread-id="all" (gdb) =library-loaded,id="/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2",target-name="/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2",host-name="/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2",symbols-loaded="0",thread-group="i1" ~"Stopped due to shared library event (no libraries added or removed)\n" *stopped,reason="solib-event",thread-id="1",stopped-threads="all",core="3" (gdb) IMO, if you're typing execution commands in a frontend's console, you expect to see their output. Indeed it's what you get in sync mode. I think async mode should do the same. Deciding what to mirror to the console wrt to breakpoints and random stops gets messy real fast. E.g., say "s" trips on a breakpoint. We'd clearly want to mirror the event to the console in this case. But what about more complicated cases like "s&; thread n; s&", and one of those steps spawning a new thread, and that thread hitting a breakpoint? It's impossible in general to track whether the thread had any relation to the commands that had been executed. So I think we should just simplify and always mirror breakpoints and random events to the console. Notes: - mi->out is the same as gdb_stdout when MI is the current interpreter. I think that referring to that directly is cleaner. An earlier revision of this patch made the changes that are now done in mi_on_normal_stop directly in infrun.c:normal_stop, and so not having an obvious place to put the new uiout by then, and not wanting to abuse CLI's uiout, I made a temporary uiout when necessary. - Hopefuly the rest of the patch is more or less obvious given the comments added. Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, no regressions. 2014-05-21 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> PR gdb/13860 * gdbthread.h (struct thread_control_state): New field `command_interp'. * infrun.c (follow_fork): Copy the new thread control field to the child fork thread.
