gdbserver/Linux: internal error when killing a process that is already gone
If the process disappears (e.g., killed with "kill -9" from the shell) while it was stopped under GDBserver's control, and the GDBserver tries to kill it, GDBserver asserts: (gdb) shell kill -9 23084 (gdb) kill ... Killing process(es): 23084 /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/gdb/gdbserver/linux-low.c:972: A problem internal to GDBserver has been detected. kill_wait_lwp: Assertion `res > 0' failed. ... gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog: 2015-07-14 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * linux-low.c (kill_wait_lwp): Don't assert if waitpid fails. Instead, ignore ECHILD, and throw an error for other errnos.
