From b5ee5a50d440d75556fbe9154e501331f9e1d3c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pedro Alves Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:07:07 +0000 Subject: Fix gdb.threads/stepi-random-signal.exp on software single-step targets.

On the software single-step variant above, those paths were not taken. This is a test bug. The Linux backend short-circuits reporting signals that are set to pass/nostop/noprint. But _only_ if the thread is _not_ single-stepping. So on hardware-step targets, even though the signal is set to pass/nostop/noprint by default, the thread is indeed told to single-step, and so the core sees the signal. On the other hand, on software single-step architectures, the backend never actually gets a single-step request (steps are emulated by setting a breakpoint at the next pc, and then the target told to continue, not step). So the short-circuiting code triggers and the core doesn't see the signal. The fix is to make the test be sure the target doesn't bypass reporting the signal to the core. Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, both with and without a series that implements software single-step for x86_64. gdb/testsuite/ 2014-02-07 Pedro Alves * gdb.threads/stepi-random-signal.exp: Set SIGCHLD to print. --- gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/stepi-random-signal.exp | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) (limited to 'gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads') diff --git a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/stepi-random-signal.exp b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/stepi-random-signal.exp index d099c91..168b226 100644 --- a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/stepi-random-signal.exp +++ b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/stepi-random-signal.exp @@ -56,6 +56,11 @@ delete_breakpoints # really dequeued and that GDB sees it. gdb_test_no_output "set debug infrun 1" +# Make sure the target backend reports the signal to GDB core.
