[Darwin] Do not crash (failed assertion) after PT_KILL ptrace error
It might not be a debugger bug that caused the PT_KILL ptrace operation to fail. So emit a warning instead, and try to continue. This patch also tries to handle the case where ptrace return -1, but left errno set to zero. According to the ptrace man page, it is possible for some ptrace operations to return -1 in non-error situations, and to detect those situations, it explains that errno should be set prior to calling ptrace, and then checked again after. gdb/ChangeLog: * darwin-nat.c (darwin_ptrace): Add documentation. Set errno to zero before calling ptrace. If ptrace returns -1 and errno is zero, then change then return zero. (darwin_kill_inferior): Issue a warning instead of triggering a failed assertion when the PT_KILL ptrace operations returned nonzero.
