From 79952e69634bd02029e79676a38915de60052e89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pedro Alves Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2020 18:26:15 +0100 Subject: Make scoped_restore_current_thread's cdtors exception free (RFC) If the remote target closes while we're reading registers/memory for restoring the selected frame in scoped_restore_current_thread's dtor, the corresponding TARGET_CLOSE_ERROR error is swallowed by the scoped_restore_current_thread's dtor, because letting exceptions escape from a dtor is bad. It isn't great to lose that errors like that, though. I've been thinking about how to avoid it, and I came up with this patch. The idea here is to make scoped_restore_current_thread's dtor do as little as possible, to avoid any work that might throw in the first place. And to do that, instead of having the dtor call restore_selected_frame, which re-finds the previously selected frame, just record the frame_id/level of the desired selected frame, and have get_selected_frame find the frame the next time it is called. In effect, this implements most of Cagney's suggestion, here: /* On demand, create the selected frame and then return it. If the selected frame can not be created, this function prints then throws an error. When MESSAGE is non-NULL, use it for the error message, otherwize use a generic error message. */ /* FIXME: cagney/2002-11-28: At present, when there is no selected frame, this function always returns the current (inner most) frame. It should instead, when a thread has previously had its frame selected (but not resumed) and the frame cache invalidated, find and then return that thread's previously selected frame. */ extern struct frame_info *get_selected_frame (const char *message); The only thing missing to fully implement that would be to make reinit_frame_cache just clear selected_frame instead of calling select_frame(NULL), and the call select_frame(NULL) explicitly in the places where we really wanted reinit_frame_cache to go back to the current frame too. That can done separately, though, I'm not proposing to do that in this patch. Note that this patch renames restore_selected_frame to lookup_selected_frame, and adds a new restore_selected_frame function that doesn't throw, to be paired with the also-new save_selected_frame function. There's a restore_selected_frame function in infrun.c that I think can be replaced by the new one in frame.c. Also done in this patch is make the get_selected_frame's parameter be optional, so that we don't have to pass down nullptr explicitly all over the place. lookup_selected_frame should really move from thread.c to frame.c, but I didn't do that here, just to avoid churn in the patch while it collects comments. I did make it extern and declared it in frame.h already, preparing for the move. I will do the move as a follow up patch if people agree with this approach. Incidentally, this patch alone would fix the crashes fixed by the previous patches in the series, because with this, scoped_restore_current_thread's constructor doesn't throw either. gdb/ChangeLog: * blockframe.c (block_innermost_frame): Use get_selected_frame. * frame.c (scoped_restore_selected_frame::scoped_restore_selected_frame): Use save_selected_frame.
