Allow making GDB not automatically connect to the native target.
Sometimes it's useful to be able to disable the automatic connection to the native target. E.g., sometimes GDB disconnects from the extended-remote target I was debugging, without me noticing it, and then I do "run". That starts the program locally, and only after a little head scratch session do I figure out the program is running locally instead of remotely as intended. Same thing with "attach", "info os", etc. With the patch, we now can have this instead: (gdb) set auto-connect-native-target off (gdb) target extended-remote :9999 ... *gdb disconnects* (gdb) run Don't know how to run. Try "help target". To still be able to connect to the native target with auto-connect-native-target set to off, I've made "target native" work instead of erroring out as today. Before: (gdb) target native Use the "run" command to start a native process. After: (gdb) target native Done. Use the "run" command to start a process. (gdb) maint print target-stack The current target stack is: - native (Native process) - exec (Local exec file) - None (None) (gdb) run Starting program: ./a.out ... I've also wanted this for the testsuite, when running against the native-extended-gdbserver.exp board (runs against gdbserver in extended-remote mode). With a non-native-target board, it's always a bug to launch a program with the native target. Turns out we still have one such case this patch catches: (gdb) break main Breakpoint 1 at 0x4009e5: file ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/coremaker.c, line 138. (gdb) run Don't know how to run. Try "help target". (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/corefile.exp: run: with core On the patch itself, probably the least obvious bit is the need to go through all targets, and move the unpush_target call to after the generic_mourn_inferior call instead of before. This is what inf-ptrace.c does too, ever since multi-process support was added. The reason inf-ptrace.c does things in that order is that in the current multi-process/single-target model, we shouldn't unpush the target if there are still other live inferiors being debugged. The check for that is "have_inferiors ()" (a misnomer nowadays...), which does: have_inferiors (void) { for (inf = inferior_list; inf; inf = inf->next) if (inf->pid != 0) return 1; It's generic_mourn_inferior that ends up clearing inf->pid, so we need to call it before the have_inferiors check. To make all native targets behave the same WRT to explicit "target native", I've added an inf_child_maybe_unpush_target function that targets call instead of calling unpush_target directly, and as that includes the have_inferiors check, I needed to adjust the targets. Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, and also with the extended-gdbserver board. Confirmed a cross build of djgpp gdb still builds. Smoke tested a cross build of Windows gdb under Wine.
