PR17431: following execs with "breakpoint always-inserted on"
Following an exec with "breakpoint always-inserted on" tries to insert breakpoints in the new image at the addresses the symbols had in the old image. With "always-inserted off", we see: gdb gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec -ex "set breakpoint always-inserted off" GNU gdb (GDB) 7.8.50.20140924-cvs ... (gdb) b main Breakpoint 1 at 0x400664: file gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.c, line 24. ^^^^^^^^ (gdb) c The program is not being run.

With "always-inserted on", we get: Breakpoint 1, main () at gdb/testsuite/gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.c:24 24 execl (BASEDIR "/multi-arch-exec-hello", (gdb) c Continuing. infrun: target_wait (-1, status) = infrun: 9444 [process 9444], infrun: status->kind = execd infrun: infwait_normal_state infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_EXECD Warning: Cannot insert breakpoint 1. Cannot access memory at address 0x400664 (gdb) That is, GDB is trying to insert a breakpoint at 0x400664, after the exec, and then that address happens to not be mapped at all in the new image. The problem is that update_breakpoints_after_exec is creating breakpoints, which ends up in update_global_location_list immediately inserting breakpoints if "breakpoints always-inserted" is "on". update_breakpoints_after_exec is called very early when we see an exec event. At that point, we haven't loaded the symbols of the new post-exec image yet, and thus haven't reset breakpoint's addresses to whatever they may be in the new image. All we should be doing in update_breakpoints_after_exec is deleting breakpoints that no longer make sense after an exec. So the fix removes those breakpoint creations. The question is then, if not here, where are those breakpoints re-created? Turns out we don't need to do anything else, because at the end of follow_exec, we call breakpoint_re_set, whose tail is also creating exactly the same breakpoints update_breakpoints_after_exec is currently creating: breakpoint_re_set (void) { ... create_overlay_event_breakpoint (); create_longjmp_master_breakpoint (); create_std_terminate_master_breakpoint (); create_exception_master_breakpoint (); } A new test is added to exercise this.
