User breakpoint ignored if software-single-step at same location
with the following code... 12 Nested; -- break #1 13 return I; -- break #2 14 end; (line 12 is a call to function Nested) ... we have noticed the following errorneous behavior on ppc-aix, where, after having inserted a breakpoint at line 12 and line 13, and continuing from the breakpoint at line 12, the program never stops at line 13, running away until the program terminates: % gdb -q func (gdb) b func.adb:12 Breakpoint 1 at 0x10000a24: file func.adb, line 12. (gdb) b func.adb:13 Breakpoint 2 at 0x10000a28: file func.adb, line 13. (gdb) run Starting program: /[...]/func Breakpoint 1, func () at func.adb:12 12 Nested; -- break #1 (gdb) c Continuing. [Inferior 1 (process 4128872) exited with code 02] When resuming from the first breakpoint, GDB first tries to step out of that first breakpoint. We rely on software single-stepping on this platform, and it just so happens that the address of the first software single-step breakpoint is the same as the user's breakpoint #2 (0x10000a28). So, with infrun and target traces turned on (but uninteresting traces snip'ed off), the "continue" operation looks like this: (gdb) c ### First, we insert the user breakpoints (the second one is an internal ### breakpoint on __pthread_init). The first user breakpoint is not ### inserted as we need to step out of it first. target_insert_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a28, xxx) = 0 target_insert_breakpoint (0x00000000d03f3800, xxx) = 0 ### Then we proceed with the step-out-of-breakpoint... infrun: resume (step=1, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=1, current thread [process 15335610] at 0x10000a24 ### That's when we insert the SSS breakpoints... target_insert_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a28, xxx) = 0 target_insert_breakpoint (0x00000000100009ac, xxx) = 0 ### ... then let the inferior resume... target_resume (15335610, continue, 0) infrun: wait_for_inferior () target_wait (-1, status, options={}) = 15335610, status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP infrun: target_wait (-1, status) = infrun: 15335610 [process 15335610], infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP infrun: infwait_normal_state infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED infrun: stop_pc = 0x100009ac ### At this point, we stopped at the second SSS breakpoint... target_stopped_by_watchpoint () = 0 ### We remove the SSS breakpoints... target_remove_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a28, xxx) = 0 target_remove_breakpoint (0x00000000100009ac, xxx) = 0 target_stopped_by_watchpoint () = 0 ### We find that we're not done, so we resume.... infrun: no stepping, continue ### And thus insert the user breakpoints again, except we're not ### inserting the second breakpoint?!? target_insert_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a24, xxx) = 0 infrun: resume (step=0, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=0, current thread [process 15335610] at 0x100009ac target_resume (-1, continue, 0) infrun: prepare_to_wait target_wait (-1, status, options={}) = 15335610, status->kind = exited, status = 2 What happens is that the removal of the software single-step breakpoints effectively removed the breakpoint instruction from inferior memory. But because such breakpoints are inserted directly as raw breakpoints rather than through the normal chain of breakpoints, we fail to notice that one of the user breakpoints points to the same address and that this user breakpoint is therefore effectively un-inserted. When resuming after the single-step, GDB thinks that the user breakpoint is still inserted and therefore does not need to insert it again. This patch teaches the insert and remove routines of both regular and raw breakpoints to be aware of each other. Special care needs to be applied in case the target supports evaluation of breakpoint conditions or commands. gdb/ChangeLog: PR breakpoints/17000 * breakpoint.c (find_non_raw_software_breakpoint_inserted_here): New function, extracted from software_breakpoint_inserted_here_p.

Tested on ppc-aix with AdaCore's testsuite. Tested on x86_64-linux, (native and gdbserver) with the official testsuite. Also tested on x86_64-linux through Pedro's branch enabling software single-stepping on that platform (native and gdbserver).
